We Are Lutheran

  • We Are Lutheran

    We are the church that shares a living, daring confidence in God's grace. As members of the ELCA, we believe that we are freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor. With our hands, we do God's work of restoring and reconciling communities in Jesus Christ's name throughout the world.

  • Reconciling in Christ

    We are SoCal Lutherans, a network of Lutheran churches throughout Southern California who publicly welcome lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people as guests, members, and leaders. We have been a Reconciling in Christ congregation for more than twenty years. If you have been to Pride, you have seen us SoCal Lutherans and our rainbow tattoos.

  • ADLA-Los Angeles

    We are part of the African Descent Lutheran Association, Los Angeles Chapter. ADLA works for engaging, involving and investing in the gifts, interests and capacity of people of African descent in every aspect of the life of the ELCA.

  • Caring for Creation

    We are a Lutherans Restoring Creation congregation committed to caring for all of God's creation and a member of the One Home One Future Network.

We Are Partners in Ministry

We believe that the God calls us all to do the work of ministry and caring for our neighbors. We are not in this world alone. This is why at Christ the Shepherd we believe in partnering with other ministries, organizations, and faith communities to assist in the caring for all people and all of creation.
