POBLO
Holy Shepherd members have worked with People of the Book Lutheran Outreach. POBLO focuses on sharing the Gospel with people of the Islamic faith. We share the Good News of Jesus with people one on one and we help to provide childcare for families coming to the church to take ESL classes (English as a Second Language).
Open Arms Home
Open Arms Home provides long term housing for women and children fleeing domestic abuse. We collect food for Open Arms Home around Thanksgiving and Christmas. We also periodically send volunteers over to do some work on their facilities.
Angel Tree
Angel Tree is a ministry that reaches out to the children of inmates and their families with the love of Christ. It seeks to transform the lives of these families and to reconcile them to their Heavenly Father and each other. We collect gifts for this ministry near Christmas time.
