Good Shepherd Community Church

What Good Shepherd Community Church does

Good Shepherd Community Church is an independent, non-profit Christian congregation founded in 1977 and headquartered at 28986 SE Haley Road in Boring, Oregon. The organization operates a single physical campus hosting three weekend worship services (Saturday 5:00 PM, Sunday 9:00 AM, and Sunday 10:45 AM) delivered in-person and online via YouTube streaming, supported by a Church Center mobile application on iOS and Android for event registration, calendar management, prayer requests, and volunteer coordination. Its core products and services comprise an extensive ministry portfolio segmented by life stage and need, including Kids, Students, Young Adults, Women, Men, Marriage, Disability, Veterans, and Grief care (delivered via GriefShare), plus an on-site K-12 subsidiary called Good Shepherd School (gssrams.com) and community outreach through partnerships with local schools and non-profits, including the 'Bridges and Boxes' initiative that distributed approximately 4,000 food boxes to families in need. Digital resources include the 'Do the Bible' chronological church-wide reading plan integrated with the YouVersion app, an Old Testament Overview six-week study, a blog at resources.goodshepherdcc.org, and a physical Nahamani Garden memorial for bereaved families.

The church generates revenue exclusively through voluntary contributions — primarily tithes and offerings collected via online giving, mobile app, and in-person during services — along with designated donations for short-term mission teams. All worship services and ministry programs are offered free of charge with no disclosed pricing. Governance is provided by Elders and Ministry Directors as indicated on the website; no executive team, investors, or institutional ownership are disclosed. The organization employs between 51 and 100 staff and operates a technology stack entirely composed of third-party SaaS platforms with no proprietary AI/ML, no patents, no regulatory actions, and no public revenue disclosure. Its geographic footprint is regional (Pacific Northwest) in person but extends globally through digital channels, with no active funding rounds, M&A activity, or expansion outside the existing campus.
