This Holy Week, you are invited to step into the story.

From the table where Jesus breaks bread…
to the garden where He prays…
to the cross where love is poured out…
and finally, to the empty tomb where hope is born.

Shepherd of the Valley is pleased to host on our campus a new church plant in our community called Iglesia Santa Maria De Guadalupe.

The sponsoring denomination is the NALC Lutheran church. Their ministry specializes in reaching out to the migrant farm workers in our community with a Spirit filled sacramental worship emphasizing God's grace. 

Iglesia Santa Maria De Guadalupe is committed to sharing the unchanging Gospel of Jesus Christ in a way that honors the rich cultures of our community. The image of the Virgin of Guadalupe is a cherished, powerful symbol of hope, identity, and God's preferential love for the marginalized. They honor this image as a cultural bridge—recognizing Mary as the Mother of our Lord—but uphold the core Lutheran belief that Jesus Christ is our only mediator.

They welcome all, celebrating the unique heritage of those who are Hispanic, as Scripture teaches, "There is neither Jew nor Greek...for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28). They invite all in the valley to experience God's love and salvation found through the Gospel.
