Welcome to the Shepherd's Heart Old Orthodox Fellowship !
Formed in 2011, to serve the greater Omaha metro area, our Fellowship is comprised of believers from all walks of life who have chosen to follow Christ in truth and spirit. We have been called to be a community of hearers and doers of the Word. We have answered God's call to demonstrate our love for our Creator through service to our brothers and sisters.
Far from perfect, we’ve simply re-discovered the ancient way of living life and being Christ-like together through the wisdom, guidance and unifying force of the Holy Spirit. We are committed to advancing God's kingdom by proclaiming the Good News to the least, the lost, and the lonely.
Far from any individualism or authoritarianism, the Fellowship relies not on external power, nor on isolated efforts, but solely on divine grace and brotherly love in order to stay united. Service and prayer are at the heart of our experience.
Far from wanting to clash or compete, we pray that we can collaborate, wherever possible, so that the Gospel of Jesus Christ can be preached to our parched and broken world. We deeply regret the fact the Christendom has been shattered and we pray that God will speedily restore our unity, so that the world will recognize us as his disciples by the love which we have for one another.
Finally, we act upon one unifying motive: a love for Christ, His gifts, His creation, His Word and the Sacraments. That is our centering point. That is our unity. We always remember the advice of a great man of God, St. Cuthbert, who said: “Do not ever think yourselves better than the rest of your companions who share the same faith".

Holy Pascha (Easter) 2012 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; let those who hate him flee from before his face! As smoke vanishes, so let them vanish; as wax melts before the fire, so the sinners will perish before the face of God; but let the righteous be glad. This is the day which the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it! Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and on those in the grave bestowing life. |
