Testimonials

While looking for a home church after moving to Menifee, my husband and I discovered this gem! We were blown away by the overflowing love of the congregation and visited a second time. Pastor Scott is extremely easy to talk to and was very happy to answer our many theological questions. We have been attending happily for almost two years now! We attended many churches, but this is the first one that truly feels like home.

I have been attending this Lutheran church since 2005. Pastor Ganas is a bible loving, bible teaching Pastor. His sermons are inspiring with just a touch of humor. The congregation is very friendly, and when you visit this church be sure to stay for the fellowship afterwards and you will see for yourself.

Good Shepherd is one of the most authentic churches I've ever visited. The small congregation is very welcoming, and makes service feel like visiting family. I've felt invisible and insignificant in some larger churches, so I took notice when Good Shepherd made me feel loved.

Chris C.

Just love this church, that is Jesus Christ centered. It is so warm and welcoming. The Pastor delivers a meaningful sermon that you can apply to your daily life. I would highly recommend you visit and see for yourself.
