Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

About this church

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Gardendale, Alabama, holds two Sunday morning services at 2456 Decatur Highway. The 9 a.m. service is traditional Lutheran worship that follows the liturgies in the Lutheran Service Book, with organ music and congregational singing. The 11 a.m. service is contemporary, led by a praise team and sometimes using video clips, drama, and art. Both are streamed live on Facebook and YouTube. The Lord's Supper is celebrated every week, and the site explains its communion practice for visitors who are new to the Lutheran faith.

The kids ministry serves newborns through fifth grade. A nursery is available during the 9 a.m. service, and children's church meets at 11 a.m. in the classroom wing using the Simply Loved curriculum, with Sunday growth groups for three age ranges at 10 a.m. Youth night meets Wednesdays at 6 p.m. Adult groups include fall growth groups, a weekly gathering for older members on Thursday mornings, and ministry teams such as the altar guild, prayer chain, praise team, meal ministry, and first impressions team. Seasonal events include a trunk or treat and a breakfast with Santa, and the site points to a local food pantry. First-time visitors can use the plan-your-visit form for more information and a free gift. Confirm times on the website.
