After a long career, our pastor of 30 years retired from the pulpit ministry and is now actively engaged in an overseas ministry. Although we are currently seeking a new pastor and are undergoing a transition, we are committed to leading and growing a vibrant, Christ-centered, faithful body of believers.
As part of the transition, we’ve recently updated our website to provide a better representation of the body that calls Shelton Christian Church its home. We hope you like what you see. We would consider it a blessing if you joined us in person for our Sunday morning worship service or other event.
