Do I need to be a Lutheran to attend Good Shepherd?

No! You don’t need to be Lutheran to attend Good Shepherd! Here’s why:

Everyone Truly Is Welcome

• We warmly welcome all people, regardless of background, faith journey, or identity. We believe in Radical Hospitality, modeling Jesus’ love to everyone.

• You are invited to “come-as-you-are.” There’s no dress code and no requirement to share beliefs; you can participate at your own comfort level.

• Worship Together: You’re welcome to join our liturgical services, enjoy Scripture, prayer, music, and communion—without needing prior Lutheran knowledge or affiliation.

• Find Community: Join fellowship groups, educational classes, or volunteer opportunities. These are open to anyone, with no membership requirements.

• You don’t need to be Lutheran, baptized, or even Christian to start coming.

• You’re invited to explore, ask questions, and participate however feels right.

• If you’d like to dive deeper, membership is optional and available later—but not required to attend or join us.
