Rev. John Derme has been called by the Lord to serve His flock at Shepherd of the Mountains by leading them in Christian worship and service. To carry out this ministry, Pastor Derme is charged to faithfully feed the members of this congregation with a solid diet of Word and Sacrament. Nourished by these means of grace, God's people will naturally seek to build up the kingdom of their Lord.

Faith Alone

We are saved through faith in Jesus Christ, trusting in His promise of forgiveness and eternal life.

Grace Alone

Salvation is a gift from God, given freely through His grace, not earned by our works.

Scripture Alone

The Bible is the ultimate authority, guiding our beliefs and practices, above all human traditions or teachings.

Christ Alone

Jesus Christ's life, death, and resurrection is the sole source of our salvation and hope.

As a confessional Lutheran church, we still hold to the same truths which Martin Luther held to so dearly 500 years ago.
