“Where two or three gather in My name, there am I with them.”
— Matthew 18:20

Visiting for the First Time?

Visiting a church for the first time can feel like a big step. We want to make it simple.
 
When you come to our church, you’ll find a friendly group of people gathered to hear God’s Word and receive his gifts. We don’t come because we have everything figured out. We come because we need Jesus – his forgiveness, his truth, his strength for each day.
 
Our worship follows a reverent and Christ-centered liturgy, grounded in Scripture and focused on the good news of salvation. You’ll hear readings from the Bible, sing hymns both old and new, join in prayer, and listen to a sermon that applies God’s Word to real life. Each service points us to Jesus, the one who took our sin and gave us his righteousness.
 
We also celebrate the Lord’s Supper, where Jesus gives us his true body and blood for the forgiveness of sins. Because communion expresses both unity in faith and a shared confession, we invite those who are members of our congregation or a sister WELS or ELS church to commune with us. If you’re visiting and would like to learn more about our practice, the pastor would be glad to speak with you.
 
You don’t need to dress a certain way. Some wear ties. Others wear jeans. Come as you are. You’ll be welcomed.
 
We also offer Bible studies and Sunday School for those who want to grow deeper in faith and understanding. If you’re new or just starting to ask spiritual questions, you’re not alone. We’d love to walk with you.
 
If you’re wondering what we believe or how to become a member, we’re happy to talk more. But there’s no pressure. Just come and hear the Word.
 
You are welcome here.

Let Us Know You’re Coming

We’re so glad you’re thinking about visiting,
and we’d love to hear from you before you do.

Feel free to use the contact form to send us a quick message.
Let us know what brought you to our site, ask any questions you have,
or just say hello.

One of our pastors or a friendly church member will reach out personally.
Whether you’re wondering what the service is like, need directions,
or would just like someone to greet you when you arrive, we’re happy to help.

We promise, no pressure, no mailing list, no awkward follow-ups.
Just a warm welcome.

Shepherd of the Hills is a church where faith is nurtured,
relationships grow, and God’s love is lived out.

That begins with a single step: your visit.

We want it to feel natural, uplifting, and personal, 
because that’s what church is meant to be.

“Let us consider how we may spur one another on
toward love and good deeds… encouraging one another.”
— Hebrews 10:24–25
