We are an intergenerational church community that values highly the presence of children in our midst. Every Sunday during the service kids are invited to come forward for a Children’s Time with the pastor. Children are also welcome to receive Holy Communion with the rest of the congregation. During the middle portion of the service the kids are welcome to attend a bi-weekly Sunday School.
Vacation Bible School 2025 – “Road Trip”
Together with our partners at St. Laurence Anglican Church we are again offering Vacation Bible School this summer mornings from August 11-15 (mornings from 9am to noon). Our program this year is called “Road Trip.”
Kids ages 4-11 are invited to join together at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church for a thrilling road trip adventure, exploring exciting destinations with the Navigator and their pup, Scout! Through engaging Bible stories, interactive games, scrumptious snacks, dazzling science experiments, and engaging crafts, we’ll discover that God is always with us – whether we’re off course, joyful, alone… or anywhere.
Have any friends or families you know that might be interested? Feel free to invite them, and join us for the journey of a lifetime!
Hope you can join us!

Sunday School
We offer a Sunday School for all kids from preschool (age 3) to grade 6 which meets every other Sunday morning during the service (please consult the church calendar for the dates). A typical Sunday School session includes some interactive Bible learning and craft making. Sunday School resumes on Sunday, September 15, 2024.
Family Nights
Every couple of months we offer an event on Saturday afternoon called “Family Night”. We gather for some warm-up games, enjoy an interactive Bible teaching, make a craft together, celebrate a family-friendly Holy Communion, and eat dinner and hang out together. It’s a wonderful way for families to connect and enjoy a church experience in a relaxed and playful atmosphere. This is a ministry we share with Saint Laurence Anglican Church in Coquitlam and these evenings are held at their location at 825 St. Laurence Street in Coquitlam.
Christmas Pageant
Another wonderful collaboration we enjoy with St. Laurence Anglican Church is a joint Christmas pageant our kids perform every year on a Sunday morning close to Christmas. It is often a multigenerational production that includes adults and youth but in which children take center stage and telling the story of the nativity.
Vacation Bible School
For one week every summer we partner with St. Laurence Anglican Church to offer a daily program of fun and learning known as Vacation Bible School. Every morning during this week kids from the congregation and the neighbourhood gather at Good Shepherd to sing, make crafts, enjoy drama, eat, play games, and learn about the Bible as they travel through a series of interactive stations. It’s always a high-energy time of fun and friendship that helps the kids to explore in an engaging way the Bible’s message of God’s unconditional love for them and all the world.
