The congregation behind this
A Flagstaff congregation has kept this open since 1954.
This site is built and kept open by Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church — a small congregation that has run food programs and community care in Flagstaff for over seventy years. We do not put our name on the front door because the front door is not about us. It is about whoever needs to come through it.
If this site has been useful, a gift to the congregation keeps the doors open.
