Christian Education
Our heart at Good Shepherd is not only to see unbelievers reached with the Gospel, but believers built up in the Gospel. We believe Jesus’ command in Matthew 28:18-20 was not just to make converts, but to make disciples. Therefore, as a church, we value discipleship. Central to discipleship is a growing understanding of God’s Word. As a result, we desire to equip Christians of all ages with a better comprehension of the Scriptures, so that they may know “what man is to believe concerning God, and what duty God requires of man”. At Good Shepherd, we have a Christian Education Committee that is committed to helping all of those in the Church better learn the truths of God’s Word.
