They have served as Youth Pastors, Music Pastors, Executive Pastors and Senior Pastors. They have answered the call to The Glades area in early 2024, and their desire is that Good Shepherd will love the community and surrounding areas, sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with every person who will listen.
CHILDREN’S TEAM
We have an amazing team of teachers that work with our children’s ministry. Currently, children between the ages of 4-11 are released to Kids Church after Praise & Worship in the sanctuary, to enjoy music and a message that is created just for them. It is exciting to learn about the Lord and this team makes sure that children know how much fun it can be to know Him personally!
