Family Life

Good Shepherd is for families.

Good Shepherd is for families. Our teams care deeply about supporting, equipping, and championing parents, guardians, grandparents, children, and students in our church! Our Staff & Leaders walk with and provide ministry for those of all ages. If you're ready to join us on a Sunday Morning we ask that you fill out our registration so we can help provide the best experience possible for your family. If you have any questions, please email our team.

For Young Children

Newborn

Whether this is your first child or fourth, Good Shepherd would like to celebrate with you and support you! Our services provide a staffed Nursery, and Mother's Room which is welcome for parents to use for feedings, rocking a child, or for diaper changes. There is extra clothing for children if needed. If you're looking for information about infant baptism, please email our Family Life team.

Preschool

Good Shepherd Lutheran Preschool is a Christian-based preschool with experienced, caring teachers who create a friendly and safe atmosphere for all who walk through our doors. Registration is open all year and you can call that team at 630-961-9055 or visit their website for more information.

Early Childhood

Starting at the age of 3, your child is able to attend our age appropriate ministry classrooms on Sunday mornings. After you check your child in, they will be met by loving teachers, lots of friends, and will be thrilled to bring you back to church next week! If you're ready to get started, you can register your family today.

For School-Aged Children

Elementary

Our early elementary schoolers will enjoy engaging activities and discussion time in our gym during service, and fourth and fifth graders are welcome to our youth room for fun games and small groups.

On Tuesday Evenings during the school year from 6:30-8:00pm, we also offer "Club 45," where your preteen will learn about Jesus through games, a large group message, and connect group time with their peers and their Club 45 leader. Reach out about Club 45 today!

Middle School

We believe that God does incredible work during the middle years. Sometimes that work is messy, but a lot of time it is awe-inspiring! We want to to help middle school students understand their identities, explore their faith, and learn to walk in the calling of Christ.

All are welcome on Sunday evenings from 6:30 – 8:15pm or during the many special events throughout the year.

High School

High school students are looking for a place to belong, and they can find that at Good Shepherd. As they move towards leaving the house for the first time, our goal is to help them develop a strong sense of identity in Christ, and inter-generational friendships that can last.

On Sunday evenings from 6:30-8:15pm, high school students can enjoy large group games and a live worship band, as well as small group discussion time.

Young Families Ministry

For every child. For every family.

At Good Shepherd we know how busy young families can be. That's why we intentionally carve out space for these families to gather together in large groups, and help foster relationships that will become Life Groups throughout the year.  Our next event is a Young Families Movie Night, happening on Friday December 6th from 5:30-7:30pm. if you have any questions or want to connect to other young families at this church, reach out to Pastor Jake Roberts.
