Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church

 

 

Family Ministries at Shepherd of the Valley recognizes that the number-one influence on the faith of children is their parents.  It’s what happens at home that counts. That’s why Shepherd of the Valley actively supports parents in their role as spiritual leaders in their home.
