Greetings, and thank you for inquiring about Shepherd of the Hills Evangelical Lutheran Church in Flagstaff, Arizona. Our congregation has been in Flagstaff since 1958 and we are looking forward to celebrating our 50th anniversary in 2008!. It is our desire at Shepherd of the Hills to be a welcoming congregation, where you will find the joy of Jesus Christ present in, around, and among those who fellowship here.

We strive together, seeking to know what it means to be a disciple of Jesus in the 21st century, by living example, by sharing and encouraging, and by formal learning. We are a praying congregation, seeking God’s wisdom in all we do. Won’t you come join us on the journey of faith? May God’s grace and blessings abound for you.

Communion Practices

The sacrament of Holy Communion is celebrated at both worship services on Sunday mornings, and at other special services held during the Church year.

As an ELCA congregation we practice open communion. All baptized believers who trust in the presence of Christ in the Holy meal are welcome to come to the table and receive. Children receive communion training at approximately third grade.

Children who are younger and customarily receive communion in their home congregation are welcome to the table. Children (and adults) who are not baptized and/or have not had communion training are invited to the table for a blessing.
