Good Shepherd Lutheran Church is a congregation rooted in Baptism. Baptism is a means of grace. It is an ancient rite and a clear and concrete way that God reveals love and mercy to us. In Baptism we are welcomed into the Body of Christ fully. ALL are invited to take part in this gift of mercy. If you would like to be baptized or would like to have your children baptized please join us for worship and connect with one of our pastors.
