Would you like to have a conversation with one of our pastors about a care or concern in your life? Perhaps you have a personal struggle, trouble in your marriage, a family issue, or some other situation you want to discuss. Shepherd’s pastors are always available to meet with you and talk about the concerns of your heart and life’s challenges. A listening ear, compassionate conversation as we look to God’s Word for help and direction, speaking the truth in love, and prayer in a confidential setting are yours. You are encouraged to contact Pastor Stoltenow at 303.798.0711 or by email at bstoltenow@sothfamily.org. 

Pastor Visitation

Visitation is one of the cornerstones of pastoral care. Shepherd’s pastors regularly visit when people are hospitalized or homebound. You are encouraged to contact our pastors or the church office to let us know when you are in the hospital or unable to get out of your home or facility. Members of Shepherd’s Board of Elders also visit folks when invited. The key is contacting us to let us know your circumstances. We are happy to visit you! Please contact the church office at 303.798.0711 or email Pastor Stoltenow at bstoltenow@sothfamily.org.

Weddings & Funerals

Shepherd of the Hills is honored to celebrate the union of Christ and His Church as we officiate weddings. The same is true when families and friends grieve the loss of their loved ones. In weddings and funerals the love of our Lord Jesus is proclaimed! Please follow the link to view Shepherd’s policies for weddings and funerals.

If Shepherd has a funeral planned for a member, the service information will be posted at ShepherdHillsChurch.org/Funerals.

In response to God’s love and mercy, and to His glory, Stephen Ministry trains lay Christians to confidentially provide emotional and spiritual support to individuals experiencing loneliness, loss, or any of life’s challenges.

If someone you know is experiencing grief, divorce, loss of job, a serious illness, or any other of life’s challenges and would like to receive the loving care of a Stephen Minister, please call one of the pastors at the church office (303-798-0711) or team member Ron Manuello (303-587-0001).

SEEKING HIM PRAYER GROUP: The Seeking Him prayer group meets on the third Thursday of the month, 6:30-7:30pm in the Atrium, to pray for the Staff and Lay Leaders of the congregation based on specific prayer requests that come from them. The people who meet enjoy the fellowship and the opportunity to pray for our church. You're welcome to attend and join in this ministry of prayer. Colossians 1:9-11.

Our heavenly Father values the relationship we build with Him when we talk and listen to Him in prayer (Psalm 145:18; Philippians 4:6; 1 John 5:14). Jesus Himself gave us the perfect pattern for prayer, the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13; Luke 11:1-4). The Holy Spirit prays for us when we don’t even know what we ought to pray (Romans 8:26).

The Benevolence Fund at Shepherd of the Hills exists to glorify Christ by sharing His love in a material way with people in need. Throughout the year, Benevolence assistance has been given when an individual or family is truly “in need” and such individuals(s) demonstrate an effort to follow biblical money management principles and be accountable for their financial practices. 

Benevolence has provided assistance throughout the year providing financial assistance to address immediate short term needs for people who have encountered a financial crisis. These funds have been provided for rent, utilities and food. Funds are paid directly to the utility companies, landlords, food gift cards, medical assistance, etc. Funds are not paid directly to the individual. Contact the church office for more information, 303.798.0711 or info@sothfamily.org.
