Shepherd of the Desert Lutheran Church

Shepherd of the Desert is a wonderful community of people from many different backgrounds, heritages, and places of origin who have found a common bond of God's love in Christ Jesus expressed in care and compassion for one another. I invite you to come experience this for yourself! Our Shea campus features a more traditional worship space, although we offer four different styles of worship on a weekend, from traditional to modern.
