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.

YOUTH
Confirmation is a ministry designed for 6th-9th graders, though is open to all. It is one step in, what we hope, is a lifelong journey down the path that God lays before each person. Our 9th-12th graders meet every Wednesday night (during the school year) from 6:45 - 8pm for ReFuel (our Youth Group). We also host events, service projects, lead worship, attend mission trips, and much more! Click below to learn more. ​

baptism/ wedding/ funeral
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.
