Shepherd!
In 1977, a small group of Christians felt called to establish a Gospel-focused Lutheran Church in the St. Croix Valley. They began meeting in a local city hall and although small, they were committed to the work of the church and God added to their numbers.
Since then, Shepherd of the Valley has grown to be a regional ministry reaching people and families throughout the St. Croix Valley and surrounding areas. While the church is now larger in size, it remains committed to the Gospel focus and Lutheran roots.
If you hang around Shepherd, you'll find us to be an authentic community trying to follow Jesus every day, not just Sunday. We learn to worship from all our generations while being Bible-based, Jesus-centered, and Spirit-dependent. In all we do, we're a group of imperfect people striving for excellence so that all people can experience the love God has for each of us in Jesus.
Connect all people to a growing relationship with Jesus Christ through worship, small groups, and serving.
Some description text for this item

Who We Are
We value creating an environment where all people gather together to worship Christ as one community. We embrace elements from previous generations while creating worship services that fit today’s church.
We seek to connect people to growing relationships with Jesus and one another. We are transformed and become more like Jesus as we gather in small groups to study God’s word, pray, and build community.
We believe spiritual growth happens as we serve others by putting their needs above our own. We follow Christ’s example when we invest our time and resources with others in our community and across the world.
We equip the family to raise up the next generation of Christ followers and foster environments for kids and students to build growing relationships with Jesus that last a lifetime.
We give out of love for Christ in the area of our faith. We believe financially giving expands God’s Kingdom and expresses the tangible, sacrificing love of God.
