Community Nights

Starting February 16th, 2026

Let's Get Together on Monday!

If you’ve recently been at Good Shepherd on a Monday evening, you’ll know there’s a lot happening!

Community Nights will take place every Monday from February16  - May 4 this spring. Our doors will be open from 6:00-8:30pm. 

Join us at 6:15pm for our brief large group devotional. After that, you can attend a support group, study, or program we will offer this Spring. Or, head back to the cafe to read a book, do homework, or catch up with a friend! New groups will begin throughout the spring session. Look for new Bible studies, Life Groups, and special-topic groups—and keep checking back to see what new groups are starting soon. Many groups need a bit of information to help set you up for success, so please register below when you’re ready to join.

Dementia Care (Feb 16, Mar 16, April 20, and May 18)
Caring for a loved one with dementia can be challenging and isolating, but you don’t have to walk this path alone. Caregivers and those who want to learn more about dementia are invited to join us each month to learn from experts, share experiences, and find encouragement in a compassionate, supportive community.
Divorce Care (Jan 26 - April 20)
No matter what the circumstances, divorce is a painful process for most people. We do not want anyone to feel alone as they navigate such a difficult time. If you or someone you know is going through a divorce, we invite you to come to our weekly support group. We offer a compassionate and safe space to journey together.
Grief Share (Feb-May 18)
Our weekly Grief Group is hosted to support those who have lost a loved one. We do not want anyone to grieve alone. We look forward to coming together to support one another through the grief journey. Registration in advanced is preferred, but walk-ins are welcome.
Intentional Grandparenting (March)
Be inspired and equipped to leave a legacy of faith in the lives of your grandchildren.  This 8 session course explores biblical principles and includes practical demonstration to help God’s truth take root.  Meaningful discussions with other grandparents offer encouragement, connection, and shared wisdom.  Near or far, grandparent with greater purpose and confidence in Christ.
Men's Group (Feb 9- Mar 16)
The climb begins here!  This 8-week devotional experience is designed to challenge and encourage men to grow in faith, perseverance, and spiritual strength. Each week offers a Scripture – based theme to guide your ascent toward deeper faith. This is an intentional pursuit of God – a personal journey of transformation through prayer, reflection and brotherhood as you follow HIM step by step toward a faith that’s deeper and built to last.
Women's Monday Evening Bible Study (March)
Gather with women for a faith-filled Bible study on Monday evenings. Each week includes a video teaching followed by small-group discussion as we study God’s Word together and build meaningful connections. A new study begins March 2026.
Retirement Readiness Course (Nov 3 - Dec 8)
Thinking about and preparing for 'Retirement’ is an exciting time, but can also be scary given the uncertainty ahead. There are big changes to plan for: leaving your profession, deciding how to spend your time, potentially relocating, finding new friend groups, etc.

Folks looking for help to navigate this new 'Season of Life’ most often find conversations & education focused on finances and money. While an important aspect of 'Retirement Readiness’, there are bigger, important non-financial issues that should be thoughtfully considered.

This small-group study will provide a safe, faith-based community to explore these topics and learn from each other, whether you are planning for retirement or are already retired. The program will provide time for self-reflection and discernment about a new 'Retirement Identity’. To consider life changes, to make plans to help you move forward with purpose, confidence, and joy. Think Repurpose-ment vs. Retirement. Sessions will be a blend of prepared material along with self-directed group exploration, focused on issues the group is curious to learn more about.
