Good Shepherd Outreach Ministries
Our Baptismal Covenant calls every Christ follower to “seek and serve Christ in all persons,” loving our neighbors as ourselves. In addition to being good stewards of financial resources by supporting local organizations monetarily, we lend our time and skill as volunteers. Outreach at Good Shepherd falls into three main categories: Hillside Early Childhood Center, Homelessness prevention and resource support, and Flock, those initiatives that support our neighbors through every age and stage of life. Please take a moment to explore the opportunities below and let us know which ones you'd like to learn more about!
