“You don't have to have it all figured out. Neither do we.”
— Good Shepherd Community
You are welcome here
You don't need to be Episcopalian — or even Christian — to walk through our doors. Come curious. Come doubting. Come exactly as you are.
We're a congregation of real people — doctors and teachers, young families and retirees, longtime Episcopalians and total newcomers. We've all been the new person. We'll be glad you came.
Good Shepherd is in a season of transition. We are grateful for our faithful clergy who continue to lead our worship as we seek our next Rector. All are welcome — our doors remain wide open.
Calendar
A one-day retreat preparing candidates for Confirmation, Reception, or Reaffirmation of Baptismal Vows in preparation for the Bishop's visit on September 20. Open to teens 16 and older and those coming from other denominations. Speak with Fr. Jonathan Callison, Deacon Lynda Hurt, or Judy Kile for details.
Join church friends for a morning tending the grounds. Donuts available starting at 8:30 AM. Bring garden gloves and small tools. Dress for the weather — shoes may get muddy. There's a job for everyone.
Weekly discussion of Sunday's scripture readings. Led by Tom Lanio, Deacon Lynda Hurt, and Ed Miller IV. All are welcome — no prior experience needed. Join in person or via Zoom.
Life together
From ancient liturgy on Sunday morning to serving neighbors on Saturday — here's what life looks like at Good Shepherd.
Choral music, candlelight, the Book of Common Prayer. Worship that has sustained Christians for centuries.
Every Sunday after the 10:15 service — stay for coffee hour. It's where friendships actually start.
Backpack food programs, Work Camp, microloans, community gardens. We believe faith means action.
Nursery care, Children's Chapel, and a youth program that gives young people real roots.
Our identity
The Episcopal Church holds together tradition and openness in a way that many people find refreshing. We read the same scriptures, sing the same hymns, and pray the same prayers that Anglicans have for 500 years.
And we're deeply committed to the idea that God's table is open to everyone.
2,000 years of Christian tradition, carried forward through Episcopal/Anglican worship.
No matter where you are on your faith journey, you are welcome here. Period.
From Backpack food programs to global microloans — faith that moves into the world.
Online worship
Our Sunday 10:15 AM service is livestreamed on YouTube every week — same worship, same community, wherever you are. Past services are always available to watch at your own pace.
