CONNECT

Everyone deserves to belong. Connection to something beyond yourself is necessary for ongoing spiritual growth, accountability, and transformation. When you offer your gifts and story, Good Shepherd UMC is uplifted, strengthened, and transformed into Christ’s body. 
Here are some ways you can connect: 

NEW MEMBERS CLASS

Deepen your commitment by becoming a member of Good Shepherd UMC. The New Members Class, "Rooted and Rising," is offered to ignite a sense of passion in what it means to be a faithful United Methodist follower of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world today.

Seasoned members are encouraged to drop-in as well to re-commit themselves to our mission and refresh their knowledge of what it means to be a United Methodist.

THINK & DRINK

Unwind after the work day with a series of happy hour book discussions, typically held at Nepenthe Brewing Company (3626 Falls Rd).

If there's a book you'd like to read and discuss, let us know and we will get a group together.

BIBLE STUDIES

Grow in your understanding of scripture and its challenging, inspiring, and healing wisdom, which speaks to us today across the millennia. 

Joint studies during Advent and Lent are offered with our sibling congregation, Hampden UMC, as well as topical studies based on the needs and interests of the congregation.

SUNDAY SOCIALS

The church comes together periodically for a time of fellowship over a shared meal after a worship service. 

If you have a heart for cooking or baking, please bring a dish to share or simply enjoy the time of fellowship with other members of the church.
