Church of the Good Shepherd

About this church

Church of the Good Shepherd in Florence, Alabama, meets for Sunday morning worship at 9 a.m. at 2001 Cloyd Blvd. The congregation describes itself as a small church in the Shoals, and each week's gathering centers on worship, the Word, and Communion. It is a Lutheran congregation, belonging to both the North American Lutheran Church and Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ, and its site describes it as evangelical, confessional, and creedal. Visitors from any church background, or none, are invited, and the site notes that some members dress up while others come in casual clothes.

Fellowship follows the service, and Sunday School usually begins around 10:30 a.m. On Wednesday evenings at 6, young people from the church and from Shoals Mission gather for pizza, fellowship, and prayer, using a compline service with extended Scripture reading. Social life includes game nights and an annual church picnic. In the wider community, the congregation partners with other local churches to support The Help Center. Recorded Sunday worship and sermons can be heard on the website, which is useful for getting a sense of the services before a first visit. Confirm times on the website, since schedules can change.
