About Good Shepherd UCC
-
We are a group of men, women, and children gathered to grow in our faith and understanding of God’s call in our lives through Jesus Christ. We are a Christian fellowship that invites all people to join us on this faith journey. Our community encourages the freedom of expression from our varied backgrounds, no matter what culture or age. Yet, with all of our differences there is a coming together as one at the table of our Lord Jesus Christ. Through this unity we agree to seek and follow the Word of God as made known to us through the witness and teaching of Jesus Christ. With this simple understanding we work together for growth in Truth, Grace, Wholeness, and Peace in ourselves, in our faith community, and in the wider community in which we live.
As a community formed by the living presence of Jesus Christ, we embrace Christ’s teachings and regard each human being as a sacred child of God, to be treated with respect and dignity. We welcome to this fellowship all those who seek to build, by God’s direction and grace, lives, based upon personal integrity, compassion for others, and faithfulness in human relationships. The presence and spiritual gifts of each person are treasured regardless of age, marital status, physical ability, gender, race, sexual orientation, economics, politics, or cultural background. The services and ministries of this congregation are available to all. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we seek to break down the barriers that divide us as a human family and to bring healing to all of God’s creation.
