Ministry Teams are volunteers who share their varied gifts so that congregational life may be continually enriched in its serving– e.g. worship, evangelism, education, youth, social ministry, mutual ministry, etc. Good Shepherd is blessed with people who contribute untold hours to make sure that the congregations services the community and the world with definitive expressions of the Good News of the Gospel – that God loves the whole world (John 3:16). Ministry Teams are never closed, but open to all who seek to serve the Great Commission that Christ forged in his life. All ministry teams are ‘out-reaching’ and ‘in-reaching’ in their postures.
