Shepherd of the Valley Church

About this church

Shepherd of the Valley is a Lutheran congregation serving the St. Croix Valley with a mission to connect all people to a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Its worship blends time-honored Christian practices and modern expression, while small groups, service, children’s and student ministries, and community partnerships support spiritual growth beyond Sunday. The congregation began in 1977 with a small group meeting in a city hall.

Sunday worship is offered at 8:00, 9:15, and 10:45 a.m. The 8:00 service includes weekly Communion and regular choir participation. The two later services offer sovKids and celebrate Communion twice a month. The church’s kids and student pages use current calendars rather than one permanent midweek schedule, so families should confirm dates for Circuit, choirs, and special programs. Summer outdoor Wednesday worship shown on the site carries old July and August date ranges and should not be represented as a current weekly service without a new announcement. Visitors seeking a quieter traditional emphasis may prefer 8:00, while households needing children’s ministry should choose 9:15 or 10:45 and arrive early enough for check-in.
