Shepherd In the Pines Lutheran Church at 42450 North Shore Drive, Big Bear Lake, California.

SITP Lutheran Church is a very friendly church for both members and visitors alike. The regular Sunday service and communion is at 9am, which sometimes seems too early(!), but there are also small communion services at various times throughout the week (when the Pastor is in).

After the Sunday service, there is fellowship, which is considered to be an extension of the service (as in Acts). This isn't your usual coffee and donuts. Almost every week it's a full-blown potluck type meal, with hot items, salads, sometimes sandwiches, and deserts.

But most of all, SITP Lutheran Church is based on belief and faith in Jesus, learning and following the word of God, and salvation through grace alone, word alone and faith alone.
