Welcome to Good Shepherd!

We are looking forward to meeting you! We know how intimidating it can be to go into a new church for the first time. To make joining us a feel little less overwhelming, here is some information to help you feel comfortable on your visit.



We are located in Glencoe, MN, right along Hwy. 22 (13th Street) on the west edge of town. Our parking lot is located on the back of our building with entrances from either Cedar Avenue or Dogwood Avenue. If you need a handicap accessible door, park by our east entrance in the spaces by the overhang.

(See more info below for where to enter)

Service Times

Every Sunday - 9:00 am

Summer Wednesdays - 6:30 pm

Lenten & Advent - 6:30 pm

Questions You May Have

Where do I enter?

When you arrive, park in the parking lot to the north of our building. Enter in Door #2 and walk through the auditorium into the Sanctuary. If you enter in Door #1 from the parking lot, follow the hallway until you reach the church office. Turn left to find the Sanctuary. If you are using our handicapped accessible spaces on the east side of the building, please enter through the power assist doors at Door #3.

How long are your services?

While services may vary each week, a typical service lasts around an hour. Please join us in the auditorium following the service for refreshments and fellowship.

What should I wear?

Wear what makes you comfortable. At a typical service you will find everything from jeans to suits. We are happy you are here no matter what you wear!

What are your services like?

We will hear Bible readings, proclaim our faith with a creed, confess our sins, sing hymns, and hear a sermon. On the first and last Sunday of the month we partake in Holy Communion. On the third Sunday of the month, we try to hold a more contemporary service. If you would like to know more, you can also find our services on YouTube.

What about my kids?

We strongly believe that families should be worshiping together. One of the most joyful noises in church is the sound of a child. If your child needs something to keep them occupied during the service, we have busy bags located at the back of the Sanctuary filled with things for them to do. There are also children's bulletins for them with activities to complete and color. During the service we also have a Children's Message just for them! The Bible says in Matthew 19:14, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

If you need anything during your visit, please let one of our staff members know.

We also have deacons and greeters that would love to help!
