Ministries Within Shepherd of the Coast
Stephen Ministry
Stephen Ministers are congregational members trained to provide one-to-one care for those experiencing a difficult time in life, such as grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, or relocation. Stephen Ministers come from all walks of life, but they all share a passion for bringing Christ’s love and care to people during a time of need.
Operation Barnabas
Operation Barnabas is a program of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) Ministry to the Armed Forces. Shepherd of the Coast Lutheran Church (SOTC), Palm Coast, FL, is an Operation Barnabas Congregation. We reach out, pray and support veterans and military families of deployed troops in our church and community.
Youth Group
The Youth Group meets for various opportunities to nurture faith and to participate in outreach and service projects. Adult volunteers are always welcome!
The Prayer Shawl Ministry
These knitters and crocheters create unique prayer shawls for anyone needing an extra measure of God’s love or comfort. As team members knit or crochet each one-of-a-kind shawl, they pray for the individual who will eventually receive it. Prayer shawls also are given to those celebrating baptisms and to confirmants. The team makes baby blankets for The Alpha Women’s Center, which encourages young women who face unexpected pregnancies. Lap shawls for veterans feature patriotic red, white, and blue colors for those in wheelchairs. For more info contact the church office at 386-446-2481.
