As a community of Lutheran Christians, we hold to the great truths of the Reformation - Grace Alone! Faith Alone! Scripture Alone!
We enjoy worship and Bible study together - more than half of our morning worship attendees also attend Sunday School or Sunday morning Bible class.
Located in the heart of the North Campus (UofM) community, we regularly welcome students, potential students and their families to join us for worship. Concordia University is only about three miles away, and we are a short drive from Washtenaw Community College & Eastern Michigan University
Divine Shepherd is small enough to meet all together for monthly game nights, occasional potlucks and bowling afternoons, and for our annual Chinese New Year celebration, Easter brunch, and Thanksgiving dinner, and yet big enough in vision and commitment to reach out to our community and our world by raising money for special projects; collecting food for community foodbanks; knitting and crocheting for the sick, elderly, and disadvantaged; and volunteering and walking with Crop Walk. Our members lead nursing home worship services, rock babies in hospitals, deliver Meals on Wheels, teach English as a second language; and volunteer as ESL conversation partners.
We are a community of Christians from diverse backgrounds who gather together around Word and Sacrament. As Christians who take seriously the teachings of Jesus, we seek to be an inviting, inclusive, and welcoming community. There is a place for you here at Divine Shepherd.
