As we pursue our vision – to reach and transform spiritually distracted families in our local community so they come to know and love God – we want to maximize the potential of our facilities to support that vision.
Sure, we’re short on space today. Extra chairs are set up in the sanctuary most weeks [...]
During a visit, you will learn more about the church’s Vision and how expansion of ministry and facility will help fulfill it. Then you’ll learn how your time, talent and financial treasure can be used by God to move Good Shepherd farther down The Road Ahead.
So far, almost 400 families have participated through a visit! [...]

It’s the day after Nick and Nancy’s Stewardship Initiative home visit and they have a lot to talk about.
The Nelson’s are back! As we track with the “Naperville Nelson’s” this week, we have the opportunity to be a part of their Stewardship Initiative Visit. Listening in to their conversation (the link to the video can be found below), their visit must have gone very well!
