Welcome

We invite you to a place where you can grow stronger in your faith, surrounded by . . .

Fellowship. Love. Caring. Sharing. And Laughter.

Our Mission

Our mission at Shepherd of the Mountains is to carry on Christ's mission into the world, loving our neighbors and serving all we meet as we join with other Lutheran Church Missouri Synod congregations in proclaiming the Gospel to the people of Pinetop-Lakeside and Show Low, to the rest of Arizona and the United States, and to the ends of the earth.

Our Pastor

Interim Vacancy Pastor, David Kaiser, is a down-to-earth pastor with real life experiences, which he uses in his sermons or during Bible study for easy understanding of teachings and scripture.

People find him easy to talk with; he relates well to issues and concerns.

Sermons

If you happen to miss a service or would like to read previous sermons, we have a collection of sermons available for you.

Online Giving

Always have a willing hand to help someone, you might be the only one that does.

Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

As a convenience, we offer online giving for regular offerings or donations to specific funds, such as our building fund, memorials, outreach ministries, etc.

Please Note

If you have not previously participated in Holy Communion here at Shepherd of the Mountains and wish to do so, please first introduce yourself to our Pastor or one of our elders in order that all those who will commune together and who will share the one bread and the one cup may be assured that we share, as well, the same confession and understanding.

Pastor Search

We are actively searching for a new, permanent pastor to come serve us and the Lord.

Please keep SOTM in your prayers as we undertake this endeavor. If you know of someone who might be a good fit, please let us know.
