Worship Team
We were made to worship! Heart felt, Spirit directed, passionate worship is a key component in the congregational life of Good Shepherd Church. Our worship team is comprised of committed believers who exercise their musical gifts, talents and abilities to lead our congregation in God’s presence.
Nursery
Toddlers and babies are well cared for in our clean nursery by women who gladly volunteer to care for your tiny ones so you are free to worship the Lord and hear the sermon without distraction.
Women’s Ministry
Women of all ages gather at Debbie and Pastor Rick Wiater’s home in Canonsburg, generally one Saturday a month, for fellowship, prayer and some healthy snacks.
Sunday School
Children love the personal attention and age-appropriate teaching they receive during the second half of our Sunday worship services.
Teens ( High School)
This Sunday class is intended to deepen teens’ Christian beliefs and faith.
Hospitality Team
This team prepares refreshments prior to church services and ministers to those who are in need of meals throughout the week.
Prison Ministry
Members of our congregation visit, teach, and pray with prisoners on one Sunday each month in the County jail.
Property & Building Maintenance Teams
Many members of the congregation take an active part in ensuring our facility is clean and well maintained. In addition to regular teams, we have a few “clean-up” days when anyone can join in and help with Spring cleaning, planting of new flowers, or other unique projects. Many hands make light work.
Missions Teams
We believe in going where the Lord sends us, as well as in sponsoring missionaries with whom He has connected us. Pastor Rick is the current President of Meeting God in Missions, he along with teams from our church go on short-term mission trips each year to assist Haitians who have relocated to the Dominican Republic and are in need of housing, education, fellowship, the message of salvation, prayer, and Bible study.
We financially support missionaries around the world in Kenya, Uganda, Kosovo, Albania, China, Costa Rica, and Indonesia. Locally, we support the Washington City Mission and disabled veterans.

This team provides sound reinforcement for the Sunday morning worship service, projection of workshop songs and videos that are occasionally used during the service. They also record Sunday sermons, which can be purchased for a minimal price.
Marriage Enrichment Ministry
Good Shepherd Church provides pastoral counseling by appointment as well as marriage enrichment seminars.
