CURIOUS ABOUT GOOD SHEPHERD?
There was a season in my life where I was searching for something more. I had grown up in the church but I had made some mistakes that left me feeling like an outsider when it came to church. I still wanted faith to be an important part of my life but I didn’t know how to live that out, especially when I felt very alone. At that point a friend invited me to church. My life was a mess then and I had a lot of questions (still do in so many ways). But I found a community of people that let me bring my mess and my questions and still belong. They loved and encouraged me. And they also challenged me to grow. At that time I realized there were a lot of people like me. People who were hurting or maybe their life was a mess. And the simple invitation to belong changed my life and I want to offer that to others who may feel like I did.
I have 2 small kids, 4 and 7 years old, so I spend a lot of time with them. We play legos, watch Star Wars, jump on the trampoline and try to get outside as much as possible. When I’m not hanging out with my kids I also love riding my bike, going on trips with my wonder wife and just finding an excuse to get outside.
My all time favorite Kansas City restaurant is Meddys or Margaritas...depends on the mood and the kids!

My role at Good Shepherd allows me the opportunity to be involved in operations for both of our campuses and to serve as a campus pastor for our N Oak location. Providing strategy, encouraging staff culture, and ensuring financial integrity are only a few of the ways I get to take care of the business of the church. However, my greatest love is to connect with people and hear the story God alive in their life. Prior to joining the staff team in 2012 I spent 19 years working for Special Olympics Missouri where I fell in love with bringing out the best in people. My husband Jeff and I have one adult daughter, Jenna and two dogs that fill up our empty nest. We love spending time at Lake of the Ozarks, adding stamps to our passport, and traveling to Mizzou for sporting events.
If I could be in any movie I would love a shot at being the real Wonder Woman!

Executive Pastor/ Campus Pastor N Oak
I am Cathy McIntire and I am the Campus Pastor for our Gladstone location. Since joining the staff in 2015, Good Shepherd has provided me the space and freedom to serve in a variety of ways – working with the youth, preaching, serving our community, and launching A Turning Point. These experiences have stretched and deepened my faith and reminded me of God’s providence and provision. What I am grateful to Good Shepherd for is exactly what drew me here to begin with: an environment where folks are encouraged and empowered to use their unique skills, talents, and passions for the greater good of God’s Kingdom. It is a joy to work with a team of people who is dedicated to providing top quality experiences so that others may know Jesus…this is what challenges me and holds me accountable to excellence. Beyond the office, I enjoy loving on and spending time with my grandchildren, going for walks, and the sun!
My favorite childhood memory is getting ice cream cones from Dari-B & racing to see who could eat it the fastest!

Campus Pastor - Gladstone
I grew up in the Northland of Kansas City and absolutely love every bit of being from the Midwest. I have a deep passion for the life changing work Jesus does through the environment of a small group. I love to write, read, and have conversations around faith and spirituality…hit me up anytime!
I have two amazing adult children, Brody & Olivia and my wife Tara and I have been married for over 30 years. It is my privilege and joy to serve at Good Shepherd.
My favorite BBQ restaurant is the original Joe’s Kansas City BBQ…you know the one in the gas station.
