Youth ministry
Our d3 Youth Ministry program provides a creative and safe place where students get to experience Christ, the Bible, worship, and friendship in personal and meaningful ways.
D3 at its core is all about making disciples, who make disciples, who make disciples. Meaning that what we are doing in youth ministry doesn’t just affect the lives of our students. In fact, the hope is that while we are helping each of our students to grow in their faith, we are equipping them to impact the people God puts in their lives.
Our Youth Ministry groups meet on Wednesday Nights from 6:30 – 8 PM and Sunday mornings from 9:15-10:15 AM on campus! If you and your family are interested in learning more, we invite you to contact our Director of Christian Education, Seth Illich.

Hello and welcome! I am so glad you’re here! My name is Seth Illich and I serve at Good Shepherd as the Director of Christian Education. I love the mission and ministry of the church. My passions and skills lend themselves to the educational and experiential side of church ministries, so I chased after a vocation that allows me to serve in that way.
