Shepherd of the Hills is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, the largest body of the Lutherans in America. While we are connected with a large body of congregations, we work to bring the Good News to our local community in ways that can be embraced for today's needs. We worship every Sunday with traditional liturgy; together we confess, hear the Word of God, sing hymns, share peace, and celebrate the Lord's supper.
As an inclusive congregation, we welcome all into God's love and grace without regard to ability, age, beliefs, culture, ethnicity, gender identity, income, language, life circumstances, marital status, race or sexual orientation.
As God's grace welcomes all, we are united in Christ.
"But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions - it is by grace you have been saved."
Ephesians 2:4-5
What We Believe
God loves and values all people.
God calls everyone into fellowship, through Christ. Through the presence and promises of God in our lives we have spiritual wellness, vitality, and new life. God then calls us to serve our neighbors, to advocate for peace and justice, and to provide for human need.
God calls us into a community.
This community, the church, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit is the Body of Christ in the world.
God is Three in One
Father (Creator), Son (Redeemer), and Holy Spirit (Sanctifier).
Jesus Christ is the Word of God
Jesus Christ the Savior is the Word of God incarnate, born of Mary, truly human, and born of the Holy Spirit, truly God, through whom everything was made and through whose life, death and resurrection all creation is made new.
