Care Communities & Resources
Life is hard! As we go through life, becoming more Christlike, our sin, suffering and sainthood complicate our relationships and potential. At Good Shepherd we desire to walk side by side with you as you seek to understand yourself and your God.
If you find yourself in a complex situation of relational crisis, deep spiritual doubt or severe hopelessness please reach out to us & someone will be in touch as soon as possible.

Griefshare
A GriefShare support group is a safe, welcoming place where people understand the difficult emotions of grief. Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief. Since there are no neat, orderly stages of grief, you’ll learn helpful ways of coping with grief, in all its unpredictability—and gain solid support each step of the way.
Mending the Soul
Have you been affected by abuse or neglect? This small group provides a path of healing that is safe and nurturing. We gently guide each participant through the sensitive process. MTS small groups don’t direct survivors but instead empower individuals to own their story and voice as they work through the exercises.
Prayer Ministry
We know that sometimes life is challenging, but we know that God cares about us and wants to hear our struggles. Our prayer team is gifted in this intercession. We go to our Lord on your behalf, and He loves to answer earnest requests. Please reach out to us for prayer and praise.
Physical Needs
Do you have an urgent unforeseen problem or situation making life impossible? If you happen to have a pressing yardwork/house maintenance issue, need assistance with a bill, or any other tangible need, we have a great team of deacons who are trained to minister to you in these ways.
Memorials
If you have recently lost a loved one, our experienced team wants to be there to support you. Good Shepherd has trained staff that offers assistance and guidance through this difficult time. We can help make your memorial service honorable and respectful of your loved one.
Sexual Integrity Groups
Have you struggled to get free from sexual sin? Are you tired of feeling the shame that it brings, or seeing the pain it causes your loved ones? If you want to make a change in your life, Sexual Integrity 101 offers an easy, judgement free first step into freedom.

This is a great opportunity to deepen your relationship with God in a casual one to one discipleship atmosphere. Get to know a mentor in this short–term series of studies designed to help you take next steps in your journey with Jesus. Walk forward in Jesus’s plan of change for your life!
