New Membership Orientation
Welcome to Membership at Good Shepherd
Good Shepherd in La Crosse, WI is excited to introduce our New Membership Orientations, designed to warmly welcome newcomers and help them feel at home in our faith community. These sessions offer a meaningful opportunity to learn more about our church’s mission, beliefs, and ministries while exploring what it means to be an active member of the body of Christ. Whether you’re new to the area, exploring your faith, or looking for a spiritual home, these sessions will help you take your next steps with confidence and connection.
What to Expect
Highlights of the the New Membership Orientation include:
A chance to meet current church members in a welcoming, relaxed setting
A shared potluck dinner—new members don’t need to bring a dish—just come and enjoy!
Time to connect with other new members who are also beginning their journey at Good Shepherd
Engaging conversation about Good Shepherd’s values, ministries, and membership
Each session also includes time for discussion, questions, and reflection. Our membership team will be present to help guide you and provide a warm welcome. We hope you’ll join us and discover the joy of being part of a Christ-centered, caring church family.
Next Steps

You can fill one out in person at the church, or complete it online.

We’re so glad you’re here—and we’re excited to walk with you as you take your next step in faith.
