What You Can Expect On Sundays

At Shepherd of the Hills Church (SOTH), you’ll be welcomed into a friendly, casual environment by people who are excited to see you. A typical service at SOTH will have a time of singing (we call it worship) and a relevant message based on biblical truth. We focus on Jesus Christ and teach biblical messages that are practical and can be applied right away.

It’s not boring and it’s not formal!

Our Story

Shepherd of the Hills Church was born on July 25, 2010 in a garage in Bear Valley Springs. On that day, almost 150 adventurous souls sought God’s heart for a new church in Tehachapi. Since then, Shepherd of the Hills Church has built a brand new building, and has welcomed hundreds of new friends to the party!

Shepherd of the Hills is a church that strives to be a place where love & joy abound and Jesus’ truth stands firm. There’s always room for more! Hope you to see you soon! (Our Beliefs)
