Who We Are

Better Shepherds is a network of churches and leaders—pastors, pastoral counselors, chaplains, and educators. Our central aim is to follow Christ as our Chief Shepherd and, so doing, to embody Christ’s care and concern for the broken, hurting, and vulnerable. We equip churches and leaders to better “feed” and “care for” his flock.

What We Believe

We believe the story God is telling about Jesus, and further, we believe he wants to write that story into the lives of all who follow him as their Chief Shepherd. We believe in the redemptive power of Christ’s suffering, the mercy of Christ that triumphs over judgment, and the healing Christ offers to all who rest in him.
