The superintendent explained that the church was to be named "To the Good Shepherd" because of the small flock that the faithful shepherd Jesus gathered here in a humble dwelling. A saint's name would have been too grand for such a small church.
In 1845, the current church was built on the existing church mound.
Romantic Christmas Eve services with the Wohlfahrt Choir, the Krautsand children's nativity play, and the decorated Christmas tree with real candles, the harvest festival in the church, and the seamen's service are the highlights of the church year.

On June 14, 1846 (second Sunday after Pentecost), the congregation inaugurated their new church together with Father Dietrich Georg Wilhelm von Horn (in office 1844–1854). The organ was also completed in October 1848.
