The Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd

 
 PictureGreg Fetzer, Senior Pastor
Pastor Greg’s greatest passion is to walk alongside other disciples of Jesus Christ and assist them as they strive to understand more fully who they are and whose they are as God’s beloved children. His greatest joy comes in experiencing his own and others’ growth in the marks of discipleship: prayer, study, worship, giving, service, invitation, and encouragement.

Pastor Greg and Monica have been married since 1996 and have two teenage children:   Avrey and Jonah. 

Pastor Greg is a movie buff, an avid reader, and an adult fan of Lego!  He also loves to game "unplugged," i.e. board, collectible card, and role-playing games.  He also knows just enough to get himself into trouble in the wood shop.

Pastor Teal's responsibilities including working with LCGS's Youth and Christian Education programs.

She claims Maryland as her adopted home state, having grown up in a Navy family and having lived in Maryland longer than in any other state.  Pastor Teal’s first career was as a web usability specialist in a university library.  She left Maryland to attend the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia (now one of the two campuses of United Lutheran Seminary); to serve her internship in Centreville, Virginia; and to serve her first call as pastor in Logansport, Indiana.

Pastor Teal and her spouse Matthew followed his library career back to Maryland, where their daughter was born. The three enjoy gardening, cooking, and bicycling. Pastor Teal also enjoys knitting, solving word puzzles, and ringing or singing in (handbell) choirs.

Sallie had been a member of LCGS since 2003.  She has been involved in ministry that cares for our members in various capacities such as: Stephens Ministry, Prayer ministry, Grief Share and Lay Eucharistic Ministry since she joined LCGS.  So, it wasn't a big surprise when she answered God's calling to be set apart as a Deacon in 2015.  In her role as Deacon, she assists with visitations and caring for the sick and homebound in their times of need. 

Sallie works as secretary in the Harford County School System.

When Ann and Sherman moved to Harford County, they became members at Trinity Lutheran church, Joppa until 2015 when they transferred to LCGS. Sherman had already been active as a Stephen Minister and also served in the areas of Stewardship, Eucharistic Ministry and Worship assistant when he decided to answer the call and take the next step and become a Deacon. He was set apart as Deacon in the Order of St. Stephen in the summer of 2018. In that role he heads up the Caring Ministry which Focuses on helping new members get plugged in to ministries where they feel called to serve, and reaching out to members whom we haven’t seen in a while.

Gina joined the office staff after having been a member at LCGS for over 18 years.  In her previous life (read, before kids) she worked as the Personnel Director for a civil engineering firm in Baltimore supporting over 300 employees.  She enjoyed the time being a full time mom and volunteer but,  feels very blessed and happy to be putting her gifts to work with the congregation she loves.

Dawn grew up here in Harford County and before coming to LCGS, she worked for 24 years at the Salvation Army.   While there, she managed the office, supported clients, and oversaw the financial reporting.  

Dawn enjoys working in church ministry but if she wasn't, she's not sure what she would be doing but hopes it would involve a good bit of time on a beach somewhere!
