Children
|
On Sundays while you are enjoying worship your child will be in our care. You can be assured that we offer professional childcare. Your children will be loved and learning about Jesus. They will have the opportunity to use their curiosity and imagination when learning about our amazing God through age appropriate activities. They will discover that God made them, God loves them, and God wants to be their friend forever.

Baptism
At Shepherd of the Hills, we baptize people of all ages. It is common for most of our baptisms to be babies, but if you have a toddler or older children, who have never been baptized, or if you yourself have never been baptized, please know that all are welcome to be baptized in this place. Wedding We believe in Christian marriage. Marriage was God's idea in the first place, thus a ceremony where Christ is the center is strongly affirmed in our congregation. We want each couple to have a beautiful wedding and a lifetime of love for each other. Thus, we will do all that we are able to help this become a reality. Funeral To make inquiries about arranging for a funeral at Shepherd of the Hills and for information on grief support, please contact the church office and arrange to talk to one of our pastors. |
