Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

About this church

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, offers two Sunday worship services: a traditional service at 9:00 a.m. and a contemporary service at 11:00 a.m. The congregation meets at 190 South Main Street in downtown Wilkes-Barre and is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, in the Northeastern Pennsylvania Synod. The church was formed in 1973 when St. Paul's Lutheran Church and Christ Lutheran Church consolidated, and its roots go back to 1845. It describes itself as a congregation focused on lifelong learning, worship, and service.

The church organizes its ministries under three headings: Faith Formation, Connecting, and Outreach. Programs listed on the site include The Reading Room, a reading enrichment program that meets Tuesday evenings in the Fellowship Hall, a Beer and Bible evening gathering, a vacation Bible school for children from the congregation and the community, and a Fastnacht Karneval with food and entertainment. The church also invites people to volunteer through its serve page and offers online giving and an email newsletter. The office is staffed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and the church asks visitors to call before stopping by because hours may vary.
