Our Story

Church of the Shepherd was founded in February of 1997 by Pastor David and Judy DeVore. They received the call to begin a church that ministered and served families. The church began meeting in a Community Room on Hwy 59. After meeting in three different locations the church finally purchased the property where it currently meets. The first part of the building was constructed and finished in 2003. Pastor David served the church from 1997 until his retirement in August of 2005.

Pastor Mike and Lynda Whitney began their ministry in August of 2005 and continue to serve today. The church added on to the facility and began holding services in the new wing Fall of 2009. The church began middle school and high school student ministries in November 2003 and then added the A-Team (Pre-K - 6th) in the fall of 2009. Adult small groups were started in 2007.
