About Us

We believe and teach that the Bible is the inspired and authoritative word of God. It contains all things necessary for salvation. The Old Testament is not contrary to the New, for in both the Old and New Testaments eternal life is offered to humanity by Jesus Christ, the only mediator between God and humanity.

We believe God’s very existence is community – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

We believe that Jesus is fully God and fully human. He invites all people to come and follow Him.  His wise teachings, sinless life, sacrificial death, and resurrection are gifts from God that give us freedom from the mistakes and failures of our past and freedom to be what God created us to be. We believe embracing faith in Jesus is the only way for this restoration to happen.

We believe that all people were created by God in His image and should therefore matter to us. Everyone is welcome at Good Shepherd Savannah no matter where they are in their spiritual journey.

We believe that the celebration of Holy Communion is a significant way we acknowledge Christ’s sacrificial life, recognize His continued presence among those who believe, and anticipate His return. When we participate in the Lord’s Supper as a community, it is a time of both celebration and reflection.

We believe that baptism is a once-in-a-lifetime sacrament of initiation into the Christian community. Baptism is a gift of God’s grace available to persons of all ages. While no one needs to be re-baptized, we do offer frequent opportunities to remember your baptism or be baptized for the first time. Contact a pastor to discuss baptism for you or your family member.

We are joyful in our affiliation with the Global Methodist Church and belong to the South Georgia Conference. Being connected with this denomination gives us accountability, connection, and participation in shared mission with other traditional Wesleyan churches.
