75 Year of Goodness an Mercy

This is your sub-headline

Founded in 1950, Good Shepherd celebrates 75 years of ministry in 2025. Our Theme based on Psalm 23 verse 6 reminds us of all the ways God has been faithful to the congregation and the Southside of Des Moines. This year there will be many opportunities to tell stories and remember the ministry of the past 75 years, culminating with a festival worship service, meal, and homecoming celebration on November 9, 2025.
