| Shepherd of the Valley is committed to becoming a church of
small groups. We believe that Biblical community begins when a
person connects with Christ and expands as they connect with one another.
Several
opportunities exist for you to join one of our existing groups or starting
your own.
These adult groups meet regularly to study God's Word, pray for one
another, and care for one another. They meet in homes, at church,
and area restaurants. Currently, there are more that 40 groups
available. For more information contact Kristin
Lagus.
Leaders: Roster Submission
These groups are open to both Youth and Adults. They serve the
community by performing various tasks needed by the congregation such as
Ushering, Greeting, Serving Communion, etc. For more information
contact Jill
Wurm.
These adult groups are formed to meet the needs of special
audiences. Examples of this kind of group are; a Support Group for
Parents with Special Needs Children, Divorce Support, Grief Group for individuals who
have experienced a loss, and a Twelve-Step Group for people who are
living with an addiction. Contact
Dick Wagenknecht for more information.
Youth small groups meet weekly during the school year from October
through April. A group consists of two - twelve youth and one or
more caring adults. They discuss questions, and share life, faith,
hopes, and dreams in the context of a Christian Community. For
