At
the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd, we believe faith begins with
community — a community in which each of us can find a welcoming and
meaningful haven to explore our beliefs and
concerns, develop our own intimate
connection with our creator and experience God’s grace among people who care
about us.
The fruits of our community we express in worship, using all of our senses — sight, sound, smell, touch and taste — to enter into dialog with God. That dialog is expressed in many forms as we gather throughout the week — a deliberate and thoughtful articulation through sacred music, scripture, prayer and sacraments. This shared holy experience, in turn, forms and nurtures our community, as well as the individual.
This
community, transformed by its faith, bears witness to that experience of God in
the world in which we live. In its commitment to the health, education and
welfare of others here and abroad, the Church of the Good Shepherd strives to be
meaningful in the lives of those around us. In other words, our faith does not
stop at the church doors.
We marvel in God’s creation and celebrate with thankfulness and joy the life we have together. From the biggest potluck dinners you’ve ever seen, to the small groups that foster a sense of belonging, we welcome all to share in our extraordinary and nurturing parish life.
