SCHEDULE OF CHURCH MEETINGS
Sunday
10:00 a.m. sharp - Corporate Worship and Teaching.
After Corporate Worship and Teaching; Fellowship Break Followed by a Question and Answer Session, and Corporate Prayer.
Discipleship, prayer, fellowship, and hospitality are very important ingredients that make up the small congregation at Shepherd's Fellowship of Greensboro. On each Sunday, following a short break, we have a time of discipleship through a pastorally moderated question and answer discussion period. At Shepherd's Fellowship of Greensboro, we seek to develop a deeper relationship with the Lord Jesus and each other by having corporate prayer and small group discipleship meetings every Sunday after worship as the Lord provides meeting space and full time compensation for one of our pastors.
As part of our hospitality and fellowship we share lunch together, after a short break and question and answer session, on the first, third and fifth Sunday’s of each month, incorporating the Lord’s Supper with those meals. This proves to be a wonderful time of sharing together with one another for edification and exhortation. We encourage our visiting guests to stay for this time of fellowship. On the second and fourth Sundays we share only a light snack during the break then return for questions and answers.
Our discipleship and question and answer sessions are very important because this gives the congregation time to ask various questions related to the Biblical teaching that they received that day and also to ask questions related to other Biblical, doctrinal, social, and current event issues that may be affecting their individual lives. We see this as extremely important because a large majority of Christian churches have relegated doctrinal teaching and training to elders, seminary students, or other church leaders. With many formerly professed Christians leaving orthodox Christian churches to join the cults, we at Shepherd's Fellowship of Greensboro believe that it is extremely important for all Christians to have a thorough understanding of the basic doctrinal truths as contained in the Holy Scriptures so "that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting," Eph. 4:14 NKJV.
Shepherd’s Fellowship is a family integrated church. This simply means that parents keep their children with them during the service to worship and learn God’s Word right alongside them. Children can hear and learn God’s Word and can learn proper, biblical worship and should be given every opportunity to do so in the same way their parents do. We do provide a crying room should a child become upset during the service. We encourage parents to take their children there only temporarily, until the child is calm, then return to worship. There is great benefit in children learning the discipline of learning how to properly worship.
Regular Mid-Week Activities (Call for Information & Location)
Our congregation meets twice monthly for an in-depth biblical analysis of particular current events that are impacting biblical Christianity. At these corporate meetings we discuss issues that relate to and affect theology, doctrine, apologetics, philosophy, and other important aspects of the Christian worldview. The women of our church meet once monthly to study various issues relating to the development of godly character in accordance with Eph. 5:22-24, Titus 2:3-5 and 1 Tim. 3:11. Our men meet once monthly to discuss their biblical responsibilities as fathers, husbands, and spiritual leaders in accordance with Deut. 6:4-7; Eph. 5:25-33, 6:4; and 1 Tim. 2:8. It is during these mid-week activities that we not only seek to further develop a biblical worldview through focused study, but we also go to our Lord in focused prayer, knowing that we can find true wisdom and guidance for living holy lives only when we petition Him for these things (Col. 2:3-4).

Saturdays
Antiabortion Evangelism Outreach on Saturday mornings (Call for Information, Scheduling, and Location).
With an emphasis on discipleship and evangelism we fulfill part of the Great Commission (Matt. 28:19-20) and keep the church body strong by nourishing it with the Word of God (Matt. 4:4). The fellowship provided during discipleship also provides accountability amongst ourselves as a congregation, and allows for prayer requests to be made known to the congregation (Phil. 4:6-7). All in all, we seek to glorify God alone through all we do at Shepherd's Fellowship of Greensboro and we hope that those who read this will lift us up in prayer to our dear Lord (1 Cor. 10:31). We look forward to worshipping King Jesus with you!
