Meet Shepherd

We’re glad you’re here!

Our Story

We are a church plant of Eden Baptist Church and desire to put down roots in Rosemount, MN.

Mission & Vision

According to Jesus’ commandment in Matthew 28:16–20, we exist to make disciples of all nations.
We seek to accomplish this mission in three orientations:

  • We reach up to God in worship. We live in daily service to him both individually and together. We listen to his word, pray without ceasing, sing to him and to one another, give of ourselves and our resources to his cause, gather together, and many other things.

  • We reach in to the other members of our church. We concentrically prioritize our church body as we minister to each other in love by praying for one another, speaking the truth in love to one another, using our spiritual gifts to serve one another, and bearing one another’s burdens.

  • We reach out to the world—locally, nationally, and internationally. We seek to bring the saving gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost through relational ministry, local engagement, contact evangelism, and church planting both here and abroad.

What we teach

We are committed foremost to the gospel and the essentials of the Christian faith. We teach in accord with our Doctrinal Statement, which draws on ancient creeds, confessions like the 1689 London Baptist Confession, and doctrinal statements of churches like Grace Community Church.

Sundays

We meet every Lord’s Day at 10:00am at the Banquet Hall at the Rosemount Community Center.
You’ll find us easiest if you park in the south lot and enter Door 2.

Our Worship Service lasts about 80 minutes and is centered on God and his work. In our services we seek to follow the commands of Scripture given regarding church gatherings. Through song, prayer, and instruction, we adore God, confess our sins, affirm his pardon of us in Christ, give thanks to him, hear his word, and exhort one another to love and good deeds.=

Sunday school classes are offered before our worship service (9:00am) for all ages. Nursery (infant–age 3) is available.

Nursery through age 3 is available during our worship service. Children ages 4–5 are dismissed before the sermon for Children’s Church—a time to teach children about Sunday worship.

Please note construction happening in the area.

Preaching

The Word of God preached is the center of our Sunday worship. In our preaching, we read and explain a portion of God’s word in the power of the Holy Spirit, who applies it to our hearts and lives.

We practice expository preaching. Our pastors open and expound the meaning of Scripture verse by verse.

Community

We are a church plant in Rosemount. As a group of about 30 people, we have the unique opportunity to invest in one another on Sundays and throughout the week. The best way to be plugged in to our community is to be present with us when we gather.

Membership

Church membership is the formal relationship between the individual Christian and the local expression of Christ’s church. By becoming a member of a local church, a Christian commits to be formally accountable to this body and these pastors. We believe that the New Testament expects Christians to join themselves to faithful local churches.

If you have any questions about membership, come and visit us on a Sunday morning or connect with us.

Leadership

Our church is led by a team of qualified biblical elders.
