About gscc.

Our regular worship gathering begins at 10:30 am on Sunday morning and we are sent out with a song by the noon hour. If you are joining us for the first time you will find our congregation to be warm and welcoming and our worship to be reverently informal.

WHO WE ARE

GENTLE Shepherd Community Church is a group of Jesus followers in grey-county that wants to help you belong, believe, and become a follower of Jesus.

In the spirit of reconciliation in Canada, we acknowledge and share our gratitude to the First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples of Canada; the first caregivers of this land and keepers of its stories for thousands of years. The physical locations of Gentle Shepherd Community Church - Grey County, are located within the boundary of Treaty 18 region of 1818, which is the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe peoples.

New? What to expect

CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT IF YOU JOIN IN WORSHIP AT GENTLE SHEPHERD? READ ON . . . .

  • Our church family is exactly that – a family, which includes people of all ages, and at differing stages of spiritual growth and formation.

  • Our main weekly worship gathering begins on Sunday mornings at 10:30 am. You can expect a warm greeting at the door whether you are there for the first time or have been attending for years. Our ushers and greeters will be pleased to answer any questions you may have about the Church or the facilities etc.

    Our worship services begin with a time of praise comprised of contemporary choruses and more traditional hymns. We then seek God together in prayer and through the teaching of God’s Word.

    Coffee is always on after the worship service.

  • Being a family, we desire to minister to the youngest through to the oldest. We have a staffed nursery for infants and “Creationland” for our kids. If you prefer to keep your children with you during worship, please feel free to do so. All our workers/volunteers have been screened and trained through our “Plan to Protect” safe Church policy.

  • Prayer is communion with God and it has a central place in our corporate worship gatherings. We publish a weekly prayer list in our bulletin and encourage individual prayer throughout the week. We also host a women’s prayer meeting on Thursday mornings of every week.

  • The weekly Sunday message is usually about 30 minutes in length and we think you will find it to be refreshingly Bible-centered. Our home groups often take the Sunday morning message and discuss it during the week.

  • Holy Communion or The Lord’s Supper is celebrated during worship on the first Sunday of each month. At Gentle Shepherd we maintain an “open table” meaning simply that if you profess faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, you are welcome to participate. There is no requirement that one be a member of the church. If you do not wish to participate feel free to pass the plate to the person sitting next to you.

  • Giving is one of the aspects of being a disciple of Jesus and a steward of God’s gifts to us. You will notice offering plates as you come into the worship space at Gentle Shepherd. These days many give simply through e-transfers. No offering plate is passed during worship. Gentle Shepherd encourages generosity through the tithes and offerings of God’s people. We believe in it so strongly that we do no fund raising beyond the free-will offerings of God’s people. If you are visiting as a guest you are not expected to make a donation but should you wish to there are envelopes provided and you will receive a donation receipt.
