Eight souls seeking God’s will gathered in a Nevada home in November 2008. They yearned to establish an Anglican church in Southern Nevada. That humble meeting birthed Jesus the Good Shepherd. Bishop John-David Schofield blessed their vision. He believed Jesus Christ would be lifted up. The Bible’s teachings would be proclaimed. Many would find salvation and the Holy Spirit. The church’s foundation would be the Scriptures. Jesus would be honored as the only way to the Father. Many would discover the freedom He offers. This is Jesus the Good Shepherd. It’s more than just a building. It’s a testament to faith. It’s a story of growth and expansion.
The pandemic of 2020 brought unexpected growth. Jesus the Good Shepherd expanded its fellowship space. A children’s classroom opened for the Good Shepherd School Project. An atrium was created for homeschoolers. The school began in January 2021. Jesus the Good Shepherd is a place of learning and community. It’s a sanctuary for children. It’s a haven for those seeking faith-based education.
Today Jesus the Good Shepherd continues to thrive. Members participate in various ministries. They sing in the choir. They play instruments during worship. They serve at the altar. They usher. They volunteer at the Good Shepherd School. They ensure safety. Their contributions are vital to the church’s life. Jesus the Good Shepherd is a vibrant community. It’s a place where individuals find purpose. They find fellowship. They find a profound connection with God.
From humble beginnings in a home to a thriving church and school. Jesus the Good Shepherd’s story is a testament to faith’s power. It’s a beacon of hope in the heart of Las Vegas. It is a living example of God’s grace. It is a place where the love of Jesus truly shepherds souls. It’s a place where you can feel the presence of God. It’s a place you should experience firsthand. You are now standing before Jesus the Good Shepherd.
