Since Christian life and ministry are not solo ventures but take place within the context of the body of Christ, we have many groups within which people are able to enjoy Christian fellowship and engage in ministry. These groups provide members and friends of the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church family with opportunities for learning and fellowship in order to "make more and better disciples of Christ."

For more information on any these groups, call the church office at (703) 437-5020 or email  This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
