Communion Instruction
November 7
We believe that the sacrament of communion is one way for us to receive God's love and grace. Anyone who confesses Jesus as Lord and Savior is welcome to receive communion at Good Shepherd. Because this is a theological moment in our worship, we offer formal instruction for children 4th grade and older to understand the personal significance of the Lord's Table.
Communion Instruction is offered annually in November. Click the link below to register for Communion Instruction.

Baptism Instruction
November 15
During this instruction, your small group will focus on understanding baptism, deepening the relationship with God, and partnering together with the church through Children’s Ministries. Baptisms are scheduled once you have completed our Baptism Instruction!
A staff member from Good Shepherd will reach out to you directly to confirm your baptism date. Information on the Baptism Instruction will be given the week prior. If you require immediate assistance or have an urgent question please contact Allie Reader.
Note: This class is designed for children in kindergarten or younger. If you’re interested in baptism for someone older than kindergarten, please reach out to our Family Life Team.

Fall Ministry Kickoff
With the school year starting up, we're ready to get back to meeting every Sunday night! Join us for a fun-filled kickoff event on September 13th, from 4-6PM at Good Shepherd. In the meantime, be sure to update your information and register for the year ahead!
Confirmation
Students 9th grade and older are invited to take part in this process of theological education, relationship building, and ultimately, an affirmation of baptism. It's one of the most meaningful experiences we offer! More information is available on the registration page.
