Our Shepherd Lutheran Church was established in 1958 and has served the community since that time. It was a founding congregation of Serving People Across Neighborhoods (SPAN), a well-known provider of social assistance in the community. SPAN is currently housed on the property of the congregation.
A familiar feeling of church experienced in new ways, the congregation is committed to being a place where people of diverse backgrounds and theological perspectives can find a home and inform the faith of one another. We work hard to maintain our focus on Christ and welcome those of conservative and liberal leanings in a community setting that sometimes defies our cultural experience.
The congregation is afilliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and is part of the Delaware-Maryland Synod.
This congregation is willing to try new ministries, willing to fail, and willing to serve.
