A Message From
Pastor Steven
What an exciting time it is in the life of Good Shepherd LCMS. As we look back on the past 50 years of ministry, we see the Lord's faithfulness to His church and the impact Good Shepherd has made here in this community and beyond. In a recent sermon, I made the comment that if I had to describe Good Shepherd in one word to somebody, that word would be...FAMILY. This life is hard, no doubt, but it's a whole lot harder when you don't have a family of faith that is there to encourage you and point you back to the hope we have in Jesus! Whether you are a current member of this family or have been a part of this family at some point in it's 50-year history or if you are looking for that kind of family of faith, we invite you to be part of this celebration on October 29th, 2023. All are invited, and we can't wait to give thanks to God for all He
has done in and through Good Shepherd.
Welcome Back!
Pastor Richard & Paula Noack
As we celebrate our 50th Anniversary, we are honored to welcome Rev. Dr. Richard Noack back to Good Shepherd. Pastor Noack was the first full-time ordained pastor of Good Shepherd. We are blessed Pastor Noack will be giving the message this day and we couldn't be more excited to welcome him and his lovely wife Paula back to Good Shepherd for this milestone moment in the history of our church.
