Baptism Instruction
August 23
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.
Instruction Time
12:15-2:00pm
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.

Disability Ministry
Buddy Break is a FREE Parents’ day out/respite program where kids with all types of special needs (VIP kids) have FUN, while their parents/guardians get a BREAK. There are no requirements for Buddies (volunteers) or prior experience needed other than a loving heart, open arms, and a willingness to learn!
Our next Buddy Break will be Saturday, August 8th from 9:00-12:00pm.
We need Buddies! Ages 6th grade and up can join! Please sign up below if you would like to be a buddy.
Email our Disability Minister, Chris Rechsteiner, with any questions!
Current Ministry Curriculum & Resources
We strongly encourage our children, students, and families to use a physical Bible. Age-appropriate Bibles are available year-round for anyone that needs one. Connect with a ministry staff member on Sunday to purchase.
GS Kids
Join our new family text resource to receive one challenge each week to further engage with what your child is learning on Sunday mornings!
Club 45
In our current series, we will be exploring the topic of "joy" by focusing on Paul's words in the book of Philippians.
GS Students
Our current series in middle and high school is "Habits", discussing practical spiritual disciplines that students can use in their day-to-day lives.
