Give
"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
Matthew 6:21
Why We Give
Generosity is something God wants for us, not from us. Your abundant giving allows us the opportunity to do God’s work and make an impact! Consistent giving provides stability, strength, and support to all of our ministries.

Stocks and Other Contributions
Stocks donated directly to Good Shepherd may receive special tax benefits from the IRS. Click here for the stock gift transfer instructions. Please contact our finance department if you need help with the process. Please check with your financial advisor regarding additional ways to give, including charitable funds, required minimum distributions, qualified charitable distributions, etc.
Please Note
For online transactions, we strongly encourage you to select a bank account transfer (ACH) which will maximize your gift. Credit card and debit card transactions are also options, but please know that because there is a 2.5 – 3% fee, these options reduce the impact of your contributions.
Financial Updates
Please continue praying about how God might be calling you to give generously— by making a fresh start (if you’ve never given before or it’s been a while), committing to regular gifts (if you give inconsistently), or by increasing your already regular giving. Your generosity fuels Good Shepherd’s vision, so we need your help as partners in ministry!
