Shepherd Church of the Nazarene is a church with a rich history and a bright future. The church began in 1927 with 18 members. Since that time the church has grown and has relocated 4 times to provide opportunities for growth and expanded ministry opportunities. Today 600 people attend regularly on the weekends and many more call Shepherd their home. As a ministry to our community Shepherd is also home to Little Lambs Children’s Center and Shepherd Christian School with a
combined enrollment of over 300 children. 

Shepherd is a church committed to world missions. In fact, the World Mission “Work & Witness” ministry of the Nazarene church began 40 years ago with a man that is still a member at Shepherd Nazarene today.

Today Shepherd is a strong multi-generational church committed to reaching all generations. A reflection of this commitment is exhibited in our three weekend services: a traditional, a modern and a post-modern service. Each service allows people to experience worship in a meaningful way while hearing the same message, which allows the church to move forward together as one.

Shepherd’s leadership is in the process of re-visioning and aligning ministry and staff to be more effective as we move forward. As part of this process, we have identified some unique factors that make us poised for an exciting future. We are strategically located as a gateway to Gahanna from Columbus and literally the world with the Port Columbus International Airport as a neighbor. We possess great facilities with state-of-the-art technology and lots of undeveloped land to use for
possible future ministry. Our people possess a willingness to risk and follow visionary leadership. The church is a highly resourced congregation educationally and financially and loaded with skills and talents. Because we are a generationally diverse congregation, we have great balance and strength as a church. It is with compassionate hearts that we will continue to engage our community.
