For example: "Good Shepherd is a vibrant church in a small town between Tucson, AZ and the US/Mexico border. We are about 200 members and mostly retired white people though have a number of working families with children as well. The church was founded approximately 50 years ago and we own our building and use our facilities weekly as a community food bank. We have both a traditional and contemporary worship service weekly and stream our worship on Facebook."
