We are engaged in faith and life.

We believe that we are freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor. With our hands, we do God’s work of restoring and reconciling communities in Jesus’ name. We are grounded in God's love and forgiveness and are called to do his work in this world. Stewardship is a way of life. It is living each day in Gratitude for all the blessings that God has given us. 


Welcome! Whether you are living in the area and looking for a new church home, a part-time resident seeking a warm, caring faith community, or simply on vacation and wanting to experience an uplifting worship service --- Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church is here for you!

For forty years, Shepherd of the Hills has been an active faith community, one dedicated to worshiping and serving our Lord Jesus Christ. We are located in the beautiful mountains of north Georgia, about five miles northeast of Blue Ridge.
