Did you know that most people who have stepped out of church have not lost faith in God? We have found that a physical move, a change in schedules, or being hurt by Christians or a church before have effected many when it comes to being in Christian community.
At The Shepherd’s Fellowship, we have a huge heart for those outside of church … especially those who have been hurt before. Many of us, including myself can relate due to our past church experiences.
However, we find it’s clear in the Bible that God has created us for community – to work together, encourage each other, enjoy life together, worship together, and help each other. We see that God adopts us into His family and not to be orphans in Christ.
What we have found that if you chase after Biblical community, there is a real beauty in the messiness of true community. Many who have not felt comfortable in other types of church communities have found a home at The Shepherd’s Fellowship.
With this in mind, we want to take a moment and invite you to “Back to Church Sunday” on September 21st. Our Sunday morning gathering will start at 10:30am and will include music, a study on community, and (weather permitting) a cookout after for any who want to hang out. There will also be kid’s ministry going on with TSF Kids for babies – 5th grade for those who wish to plug in.
We will also be celebrating on this day our ten year anniversary as a church with several faces from over the years coming back to celebrate with us. This also includes several musicians from different seasons of our church past to worship with us.
We don’t expect this invite to serve as enough to give you a feel for who we are and why you should give church with us a chance so please stop by our web-site and learn more about us. If you have any additional questions, touch base with me through our leadership page and I’ll help any way I can. Hoping to see you!
Blessings,
