Adult Ministries
Adult Discipleship at Shepherd of the Valley:
The Christian walk is not meant to be something done alone. Our mission at Shepherd is to connect people to Christ while also connecting people to each other. Community is an essential need of every human being, it is how God has wired us up. Small Groups are the foundation of virtually everything that takes place at Shepherd. We encourage you to get connected in a small group. Find out more about Small Groups.
We also offer these great opportunities for adults:
Classes and Events
Shepherd hosts a variety of classes and events throughout the year. These classes and events range from Bible studies, to special guest speakers, satellite broadcasts, prayer classes, marriage conferences, and the list goes on. These opportunities are open to everyone and anyone, so invite your family and friends! These classes and events are a great way to grow deeper in faith, meet new people, and learn new things!
