The purpose of Shepherd of the Valley E. Lutheran Church is to serve all people in God's world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. (Mark 16:16; Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8) To that end with God's help we, as a gathering of Christians (2 Corinthians 6:1-2; 1 Corinthians 12:4-6) will:

• Proclaim the Law, and the Gospel which under the Spirit's blessing leads sinners to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 3:20; Acts 16:31; 1 Corinthians 12:3; 1 Peter 1:23; Romans 10:17; Romans 1:16).
• Nurture and strengthen one another in our Christian faith and life (Hebrews 10:24-25; Acts 2:42; Ephesians 4:11-14; Colossians 3:16; John 20-21-23; Matthew 18:15-20).
• Develop the talents among us for the sharing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with everyone (Acts 1:8; Ephesians 4:7-16; Mark 10:42-44; 2 Corinthians 8:7; 9:6-9; John 13:35; Galatians 6:10).

We invite you to learn more about our church with a visit next Sunday!
