• Good Shepherd Communities (GSC) was once closely tied with Bethesda Lutheran Communities (now known as AbleLight). In 2006, GSC became a wholly-controlled subsidiary of Bethesda, solidifying a partnership that began decades earlier[2].

Historical Context

In the 1940s, Norma and Paul Yorde, after being unable to place their son at Bethesda, were assisted by the organization in establishing the Good Shepherd Lutheran Home of the West in Terra Bella, California. Over time, Bethesda and GSC collaborated on several initiatives, including fundraising[2].

Merger and Reorganization
