Principles
Christ the Shepherd desires to not only be a spiritual presence in the community, but also a civic presence working to partner with community leaders, businesses and organizations to improve the quality of life for those who live in the village, town of Schoharie and beyond. One of the ways that we do this is through our adjoining rented space called “The Living Room” which we offer free-of-charge to individuals and organizations as a gathering space for the community.
Christ the Shepherd strives to be a good steward of the financial resources that God provides and it is our practice to not accumulate funds or to fundraise. We are self-financed and regularly give away any excess funds (after normal operating expenses) through our benevolence by supporting projects and needs that are local, national and global.
