About the All Shepherds Lutheran Church

About Us

All Shepherds Lutheran Church

All Shepherds is a congregation of the Southern Ohio Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Chartered on January 14, 1990, we have been blessed by God with many opportunities for ministry in southern Delaware county, the fastest growing county in Ohio. Pastor Carl Fischer was called to full-time service here in 1994. We are a growing church with a small-church atmosphere where you can be known and know others on a first name basis.

This is truly a “welcome place where you can belong, believe and become!” Others have described us as a friendly church that seeks to serve. At All Shepherds you will “belong” to an inclusive community of faith that is endeavoring to live a lifestyle of caring, concern, and compassion for all of God’s creation. We “believe” that our lives have been made sacred by the sacrificial gift of a loving God in the crucifixion, death and resurrection of the divine man, Jesus. We “become” the persons God intends us to be through the leading of the Holy Spirit as we live, love and serve in all the places of our life by using the gifts of time and talent with which we have been endowed by our Creator.

If you are seeking a place where your spirit can be renewed and your life can be lived meaningfully, then worship with us in a “kid friendly” environment on Sunday mornings at a time of your choosing, 8:15 a.m., 9:30 a.m. or 11:00 a.m., and experience for yourself the vitality and vibrancy of a lively and growing community of faith. Christian Studies for pre-school through 12^th grades and adults happens at times posted in the web site calendar and on the home page. Christian Studies classes are conducted September through May.
