In addition to regular weekend services, Shepherd of the Hills offers special services every year. Shepherd of the Hills follows a liturgical church calendar, meaning that certain Bible-based events are celebrated every year, along with certain days of national significance. Although the regular calendar begins Jan. 1, the church calendar begins with the first Sunday of Advent, the season leading up to Christmas, because God's plan of salvation began its course when Christ entered our world.
