We're excited to welcome Justine McCoy as our new Director of Operations beginning April 13. As a longtime member and volunteer, Justine brings both a love for Good Shepherd and strong organizational gifts. She'll help support our staff and ensure our ministries run smoothly and effectively. We're grateful to have her stepping into this role!

Join us on April 19th as we begin a new series through the book of Jonah. When God called Jonah, he didn't just hesitate, he ran the other way.

This is a story about resisting God, wrestling with grace, and discovering that God's mercy reaches further than we expect. Come explore what happens when God refuses to give up on both the prophet and the people he was sent to.
