Our Pastor

Welcome to Good Shepherd Lutheran School!  I am honored to be the pastor to this wonderful school, and I am also a school parent.  Our daughter has been attending GSLS since she was 2 years old in the Ladybug class.  Long before I became the pastor to the church and school; GSLS has been a central part to my family life.

I love and value the academic standards, community unity, parental connectedness, and extracurricular activities. I have witnessed many students and families enter our school and immediately find a community and thrive. 

I am ordained as a Presbyterian minister now serving a Lutheran church and I am sure a joke is out there somewhere, I just can’t think of one off the top of my head.   I have pastored churches in Marin, Washington D.C., Oakland  and Ukiah. 

My wife, daughter, son and dog, happily call Novato our home. 

We are raising our children in a fast paced and rapidly changing world, one of my favorite quotes, and I am reminded of this on a daily basis is, “ We Cannot Direct the Wind, But We Can Adjust Our Sails.”

Thank you for taking your time to learn more about Good Shepherd Lutheran School.

Joy and Peace,
Pastor Daniel Christian
