Good Shepherd strives to be a safe and nurturing place where children and youth find a welcoming community. It is here among their friends that they are introduced to the strength and responsibilities of Christian community, and that they find a place where they can begin to ask the questions that matter.

Teen-agers find a sanctuary in which to explore spirituality and ethics as they begin to take ownership in their faith and become leaders in the community. They do this through the two youth groups that gather at Good Shepherd — one for junior high and one for senior high. Many also find a sense of belonging through participating in the worship life of the parish.
There are opportunities for spiritual growth beyond Good Shepherd as well — in the diocesan summer camping program and regional and national youth events like JEYL, CLEY and PYE.
