As a parish, we've cast a vision for living out five characteristics of a disciple. Now, we're moving that vision into an experience – an experience that will fully engage us all in our mission of discipleship and evangelization. Jesus has a mission just for you.
Our mission:
Be Disciples. Make Disciples.
In welcoming all, we form disciples who know, love, and serve God and neighbor.
who is a disciple?
A disciple welcome God's people, encounters Jesus Christ, grows in Jesus Christ, serves God's people, and shares the Gospel.
“COME, FOLLOW ME.” - MT. 4:19 | “GO, MAKE DISCIPLES.” - MT. 28:19
Disciples are followers of Jesus. Making disciples is evangelization. As Catholics, Jesus calls us to be disciples and to make disciples. Moving forward as a parish community, let's reflect on five characteristics of being a disciple: welcome, encounter, grow, serve, and share. What is the purpose? We are seeking to empower all people to develop a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and to live out our Catholic calling of discipleship and evangelization.
Good Shepherd exists to call each of our members, wherever they are at, to a lifestyle of discipleship that involves WELCOMING God’s people, ENCOUNTERING Jesus Christ, GROWING in Jesus Christ, SERVING God’s people, and SHARING the Gospel. As we seek to live out these five characteristics of a disciple, we may find that we are one of the following:
