Our Good Shepherd Lutheran Congregation
Good Shepherd is a member congregation of the
East District
of Lutheran Church-Canada (LCC), a family (or synod)
of confessing Lutheran pastors and congregations bound together by our common teaching,
believing, and confessing of the historic Lutheran
confession of the Christian Faith (here
is a brief summary). This is by no means merely a local or even a national confession,
but this faith is held and proclaimed together with other
Lutheran church bodies worldwide,
among which is our sister church, the Lutheran
Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS). This means that you will find the confession
of faith of all our sister churches to be the same as ours - the truth of God does
not change! "If you abide in My Word," Jesus says, "you are truly My disciples,
and you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free" (John 8:31-32).
Our current pastor is the Rev. David Milette.
Faith Lutheran Church
(previously Nova Scotia Lutheran Outreach - NSLO) grew out of a preaching station started in 1999 under
Good Shepherd's pastoral care, and was more permanently established at the comissioning of then
Missionary-at-Large to the Maritime Provinces Rev David Maffett in June 2000, a position
which he continued to serve in until May 2008. Though far-reaching, the mission of
Faith Lutheran Church still centers around a small worshipping congregation in Dartmouth, NS.
Currently, the members of Faith asked Pastor Milette at Good Shepherd to be their
supervising pastor.
Since July 2007, Good Shepherd has begun to seek out and to minister to Lutherans and those
interested in the Lutheran confession of the Faith on Prince Edward Island
with monthly Divine Service (usually 4th Saturday of the month, 3pm) and Bible Study (4pm)
and more often with visiting vicars and pastors during the summer months,
and in Saint John, NB.
