Calling the Next Season of Leadership

In early 2022, Good Shepherd entered into a Pastoral Call Process for two pastoral openings, Senior Pastor and Associate Pastor. Efforts have been led by our two Pastoral Call Teams, composed of members from our congregation.

As of Sunday, March 5, our congregation affirmed the hiring of Pastor Tara Beth Leach in the search for our next Senior Pastor. Thank you to our Senior Pastor Call Team who led selflessly and with servant hearts throughout the entire process. We are excited, eager, and so blessed to welcome Pastor Tara Beth to our Senior Leadership Team!

Ministry Site Profile

Good Shepherd’s Ministry Site Profile (MSP) is completed by our Call Teams and is approved by our Church Council and Synod. The Ministry Site Profile describes the details, demographics, and mission of our congregation as it relates to the pastoral search.

The Ministry Site Profile for the Senior Pastor search was first published and shared with the congregation on Friday, August 19, 2022. This is available to view online.

The Ministry Site Profile for the Associate Pastor search was first published and shared with the congregation on Wednesday, April 19, 2023. This is available to view online.
