Good Shepherd is part of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod.
The Lutheran Church is a Christian denomination. Lutherans derive their name from the reformer Martin Luther who made efforts to reform the theology and practice of the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century. Lutherans hold the Holy Bible as the definitive source and guide to life. Lutherans believe that we are saved by God’s grace and not by what we do. For more information on what Lutherans believe, please visit the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod’s website.
Our worship lasts about one hour.
Communion is celebrated almost every Sunday at all worship services, except in cases of special events.

At Good Shepherd, we believe the offering is an opportunity to honor God with one more part of life: our money. We don’t give an offering because we think that God needs our money or because we feel obligated to do so. The Bible tells us that God desires a cheerful giver. If you feel led by God to bring an offering, we would encourage you to do so, and join with us in discovering the blessings of generosity.
Good Shepherd is a member of the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod and the NJ District of the LCMS. We are self-governed. Here is a copy of our Constitution and By-Laws.
