Adult Ministry

The purpse of our Adult Ministry is to provide opportunities for adult members and guests to become better acquainted with one another and to enjoy Christian fellowship and community, while supporting and encouraging one another in their Christian walk.

Good Shepherd offers a variety of small groups, each targeting a specific audience, that provide community, Biblical/topical study, and encouragement.  These groups meet in the homes of our members and offer a comfortable environment to grow in faith and fellowship.

If you would like to participate in any of the Adult Ministry offerings, please contact the church office at (703) 437-5020.

MEN’S MINISTRY

The Men’s Fellowship Group’s mission is to foster Christian brotherhood for the adult men of Good Shepherd. We hold regular meetings as well as special events. For over five years the primary platform to support this goal is the Fall/Winter Saturday morning breakfasts. Men of the congregation as well as guest speakers share their personal Christian faith experiences with the group. The men also contribute their time, energy, and imaginative cooking skills as chef-of-the-month. Our program would not be complete without the musical talents of members who provide the accompaniment for the hymn of each breakfast.

In addition to the regular breakfasts, the Men’s Fellowship hosts an annual St. Valentine’s breakfast for Good Shepherd couples. This event continues to be very popular. The Men’s Fellowship also sponsors activities for the entire congregation.

WOMEN’S MINISTRY

The Women’s Ministry is designed to develop opportunities for service and fellowship among the women of GSLC. We hold regular meetings as well as special events, including attendance at the Women of Faith conference, a retreat in the fall, and an Advent Tea.  Some examples of organizations we are involved with include: The Lutheran Women’s Missionary LeagueWomen of FaithInternational Lutheran Marriage Encounter.
