Caring Community

There are many ways to give your time and talents to support the Shepherd family. Here’s a list of volunteer opportunities. Contact the Shepherd office (952-935-3457 or office@sothchurch.com) to learn more about a specific opportunity and/or be connected with the leader of a particular one.

Admin/Facilities Team - This team invites those who enjoy working inside or outside of the building to serve with us. Whether you like to garden, shovel snow, paint, do light maintenance, or help out in the office, we have a place for you!

Communications Team - This team is responsible for sharing the good news regarding Jesus and the ministries at Shepherd with the wider community. They interface with print and visual media, as well as maintain our social media presence as well.

Funeral Care Team - This team sets up, serves, and cleans up when there is a funeral at Shepherd. Generally, Shepherd provides bars, coffee, water, and lemonade and the family provides the food which is served by the team. You only serve according to your availability.

Mental Health Connect - https://www.mhconnect.org/

Shepherd partners with Mental Health Connect which is a collaborative of faith communities, working together to help destigmatize mental illness to make sure all people can find the free, customized, and confidential help they need. They welcome new volunteers and mental health awareness ambassadors.

Ushers’ Team - This team serves to welcome members and visitors to Shepherd, usually on Sunday morning, by helping them to receive a name tag and bulletin, find a seat in the sanctuary, give an offering, and partake in Holy Communion.

Visitation Team - This team works with Pr. Sherri to ensure that all of our sick and shut-in members and friends receive a monthly visit with Holy Communion. Most team members are assigned to one - or two - households. Training is provided and support is always available.
