Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

About this church

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Champaign celebrates Holy Communion at 9:00 a.m. Sundays in person and by livestream. The ELCA service is relaxed and informal but grounded in Scripture, prayer, preaching, and the sacraments. Communion is offered to all, the building is wheelchair accessible, and the congregation explicitly welcomes people across differences of gender, race, sexual orientation, age, and ability.

A professionally staffed nursery sits close to the sanctuary for parents who need a break, though children are encouraged to participate in worship as much as possible. Choir, handbells, youth and family ministry, adult faith formation, quilting, book groups, cancer support, and environmental-justice work provide varied ways to connect. Service ministries include hunger relief and global projects, reflecting the Lutheran emphasis on faith expressed in care for neighbors. Visitors can arrive before 9:00, attend onsite or online, and ask an usher about nursery access, Communion, or accessible seating; seasonal outdoor and midweek Lenten services are announced separately.
