Every year, we seek to explore God's call for our church by seeking answers to specific questions borne out of conversations with our community.  These are called "Open Questions".  We also identify a few strategies for discerning God's answers for us, which are called our "Annual Vision of Ministry".  For September 2025 - June 2026, we feel called to the following:

Open Questions
Where is God leading us to build community and grow spiritually?
How is the Spirit calling us to partner with others to serve the vulnerable, with justice and compassion?
 
Annual Vision of Ministry
Collaborate with other churches to accomplish more than we could do on our own.
Try new accessible opportunities for worship and connection.
Take action based on partnerships with community experts.

At Shepherd, we believe that every person is an important part of the church.  Therefore, we want to share with you how God has led us to organize the work of the church and ensure the proper use of resources.
