Church of the Good Shepherd United Methodist

Our vision is to live out the presence of Jesus in a diverse and thriving urban neighborhood.


We have Sunday School for all ages from preschool through adults.  A nursery is provided for younger children. Our nursery worker is Lori Clarkson.


Preschool, Kindergarten/One, Grades Two through Five Classes


Live B.I.G. helps children see, hear, and live their Belief In God.  Short video segments are used to bring faith-filled, high-energy excitement to children.   Characters model B.I.G. behavior, travel segments feature B.I.G. ministries by everyday B.I.G. people,  there is cool music for kids’ ears and more!

For more information about this curriculum see http://www.ilivebig.com/.


Little Shepherd's Church

We provide for children 4 years old through 3rd grade the opportunity to experience church at their own level every Sunday.   Children are dismissed from worship following the Children's Moment and have their own service under the guidance of an experienced volunteer staff.

The group rejoins the regular worship service at its conclusion to share in the singing of the benediction response, except on Communion Sundays when parents need to pick up their children from the green room.  Following the conclusion of the song, the children are reunited with their parents for the fellowship period held immediately after worship.
