Connect
The mission of Shepherd of the Valley is to "Connect all people to Christ through nurturing, building friendships, and serving". Our desire for each and every person is that they connect to Christ and also connect to a caring community of people. Shepherd is a large church, but there are so many great ways to connect with people. Small groups, service opportunities, volunteering in a variety of ministries, and becoming a member of the church are just a few ways where you can connect with other Christians and build lifelong relationships. Please let us know if we can help you find ways to connect at Shepherd.
