Community

Our church is committed to fostering community, care, and spiritual growth.

From blood pressure screenings and individual prayer support to welcoming newcomers and teaching the next generation, we strive to reflect God’s love in all we do. Join us as we care for one another and grow in faith together.

Health Team

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 1 in 3 adults in the United States has high blood pressure, and half of them don’t have it under control. High blood pressure increases the risk for heart disease and stroke, the leading causes of death in the United States.

If you stay on top of it, you’ll do a better job of treating it. Occasionally, members of our Health Team are available after worship for blood pressure screenings.

Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul. 3 John 1:2

Welcoming  Connections

With Jesus as our example, we should never be shy about welcoming others. Whether it’s welcoming friends into our home, visitors into our church, or just saying hello to a stranger on the street, as Christians we should display the welcoming attitude of God. Our Hospitality Team are the friendly people greeting you when entering our church on Sundays. Someone is always stationed at our Welcome Center to help you navigate the church and to answer questions.

Prayer Ministry

Prayer Ministry members are available after most Sunday services for special individual prayer for those who have a need.

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people. 1 Timothy 2:1

Youth & Sunday School Leaders and Helpers

As a community of Christ, Shepherd of the Hills takes the responsibility to teach the children and youth about the Gospel Message by studies but also through actions including dedicating financial Sunday school offerings, participating in caring for the needs of others. The congregation as a whole dedicates time and effort toward the education and development of our children. We rely on members of all ages, from different facets of life’s journey to teach our children and youth.

All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children. Isaiah 54:13

In our Neighborhood

There’s a place for everyone to help meet the needs of others.

Whether it’s through knitting for those in need, helping with home maintenance, or simply lending a hand in local mission efforts, we invite you to be the hands and feet of Jesus as we work together to share His love and hope with our neighbors.

Prayer Ministry

We are here to pray for you and whatever is on your heart! There is nothing too big or too small to pray for. Just look for one of our team members, you can recognize them by the prayer ministry lanyard.

The Food Pantry

We work with the local food pantries in Slinger, Menomonee Falls, and Germantown to help families who are in need. Two thousand years ago, Jesus commanded us to feed the hungry, we still follow that command!

Versiti and Blood Center of Wisconsin

We want to bless out community and one way that we do that is by hosting blood drives every quarter. This is a lifesaving event and we’d love to have you come and help either by donating blood or by helping our guests.

Serenity Inn

We partner with Serenity Inn, a wonderful ministry for Men who are recovering from addiction in Milwaukee. In addition to financial support, we are blessed to bring food down and eat dinner with the men there.

The Gathering

The Gathering cooks meals and provides them to those who are homeless in Milwaukee. We are glad to be able to help those who are in this situation of desperate need.

Hands and Feet of Jesus

For those who may not have the opportunity to take time from school or work to travel for service type mission trips, there are opportunities to help families with dire needs right in our local area.

Knitters and Crocheters

The knitters and crocheters of our congregation continue to support those in need with hats, scarves and blankets dispersed to through area organizations and local charities.

Salvation Army Bell Ringing

The Red Kettle programs help the Salvation Army aide people that likely would be forgotten. This program provides housing assistance, food and Christmas cheer to thousands of people who have nowhere else to turn and we are blessed to be part of what they do every holiday season.

to the ends of the earth

Compassion for Every Child

We are called to love and bless all the people of this world. We have so many opportunities and places where we can help. We’ve had the opportunity to ministry across our country in places like Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Mississippi, and we have traveled across the globe as we partner with other Christians in places like Tanzania.  It is a joy to share God’s love! 

Eight Days of Hope

Eight Days of Hope relies on effective leaders and volunteers to impact homeowners and victims of natural disasters. What was meant to be a one-time visit to the Gulf Coast with a handful of people after Hurricane Katrina, God has allowed it to blossom into a wonderful ministry! On several different occasions, thousands of volunteers have ministered to people’s needs after Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Irene, Isaac, the floods in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Nashville, Tennessee, and the tornados in Northeast Mississippi and Northwest Alabama. Eight Days of Hope has one goal: Love people and serve people as Jesus loves us!

Shishitony Parish Tanzania

We have a wonderful sister congregation, Shishitony Parish in Meru, Tanzania. We share our prayers and ministry support with them. They remind us that our hope and strength come from Jesus is a circle of provision!

Simple Hope Tanzania

Simple Hope is working together with all people and faiths to build community and provides hope to those who are compromised in rural Tanzania Africa. The direct mission of Simple Hope is to empower lives through faith, nutritious food, clean water and education of sustainable processes.

Soles for Jesus

One of the things that we take for granted here in America is the fact we have shoes! In many parts of the world, the ability to walk to school or work is hindered by the lack of footwear. Soles for Jesus takes shoes from here and then blesses people in Africa so that they can get an education or make a living. It is such a blessing for us to be able to work with them!

Mt. Meru Coffee project Tanzania

We love our love of coffee here at Shepherd of the Hills and we love the people who grow it! Mt Meru is a project that partners with the coffee growers of Tanzania in helping them to develop a sustainable coffee marketplace with delicious coffee.

Compassion International

We partner with this wonderful ministry to support kids in need across the globe. This incredible ministry helps kids get the nutrition and schooling that they need in the poorest places in the world.

Operation Christmas Child

We want to share God’s love with kids around the world so, every year we work with Operation Christmas Child to pack hundreds of gifts to children in the poorest places across the globe. Each box is filled with school supplies, gifts and a book about the love of Jesus in the child’s native language. We work with other area churches to pack boxes and we are so fortunate to be able to be part of this wonderful ministry.
