A Church In The Heart Of The Village
Church In The Village (CITV) is located in the heart of Shepherd Village and our congregation is made up of some 20 denominations, made up of residents and community members.
All of our evangelical services have a strong age-specific focus, one hour in length with no standing required. Included in our services are the singing of hymns, traditional and contemporary choruses, weekly bulletins and monthly communion. Sunday morning services are televised throughout the Village via Rogers Cable and now on our YouTube channel. Volunteers and staff are available to assist our Lodge long term care residents to attend the Sunday morning service.
In addition to programming within the CITV, individual buildings (Manor, Gardens, Terrace and Lodge) enjoy their own Spiritual Life programs such as bible studies, prayer meetings, hymn sings, devotionals, special choirs, guest speakers/vocalists and musicians.

Online Prayer Request
The Pastors and Chaplains of Shepherd Village are fully aware of the stress and anxiety many of you often face and, recognizing not only the need but the tremendous power of prayer, we have created a Prayer Network to pray for our residents and staff. If you have a prayer need (or praise report) please send us an email at prayer@shepherdvillage.org.
If you know of someone without email who would like to use the Prayer Network please encourage them to call one of our pastors at extension 227 or 228.
Once your request has been received it will be passed on to a team of prayer partners made up of Shepherd Village residents. Also, please let us know if you wish your name to remain confidential before your prayer request is forwarded to the Prayer Network.
Pastoral Care
Shepherd Village is served by a very competent team of credentialed and highly personable Pastors. We are available for confidential spiritual support delivered in a very compassionate and caring manner, sensitive to the various religious convictions of our residents.
We offer crisis, palliative, grief support, social visits and pastoral counseling and perform regular hospital visitation as well as funeral service support. Upon request, we will also connect residents with their respective clergy. A team member is onsite six days a week and available on-call during off hours.
