Mission Statement

The Church of the Good Shepherd welcomes you...to begin to get to know us, who we are, what we stand for and what we seek to be. We draw significant strength from our congregation...people with a variety of faith backgrounds, ethnicities, socio-economic statuses, interests, skills, and abilities. Many of our members have lived in Utah all of their lives. Others are transplants, come to Utah through nearby Weber State University, Hill Air Force Base or a growing list of companies that have located in Ogden and neighboring towns. Our membership also draws from a large geographical area, including several northern Utah counties. We are united by our mission, and our common values:

• Worship is the center of our parish life and forms the spiritual foundation that sustains and strengthens our relationships with God, each other, and our neighbors.
• We believe that we are called to use our talents and resources to serve God by improving the lives of those we meet at our church and in the community.
• We highly value education and the transformative impact that it can have on people’s relationship with God, spiritual health, and quality of life.
• We value all people regardless of race, ethnicity, culture, economic condition, age, gender, marital status, physical or mental ability, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression and seek to find ways to welcome them to the Lord’s table.
