Our Shepherd Lutheran is known for its spring and fall chicken barbecue fundraisers, with proceeds benefiting various nonprofits. Pastors Kathy Morris and Earl Janssen work as a team to lead the church in worship, prayer and religious education. Morris asked that this statement be shared from the church website: "The people of Our Shepherd Lutheran Church are a mix of people much like you will find in your neighborhood. We are young and old. We are employed and retired. We are longtime residents and newcomers to the community. What we all find here are opportunities to experience faith in many different ways. We welcome and celebrate new ideas and we also treasure some traditions, which extend back to our founding over 50 years ago."
