Welcome to our Website!     We are honored that you are visiting this site and hope that it will be a helpful way to learn more about this parish, our ministries, and our mission.   Whoever you are, and wherever you find yourself in your life, we hope you felt called to visit us, and will find what you need here. The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd has a history of taking the words of the Bible seriously that say we are to:   “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength and to love your neighbor as yourself.”   It is our belief that these words, which are found in both the Old and New Testament, are the foundation of the way we are to live out our mission collectively and individually.   We believe God loves us, and that every human being is created in God’s image.   For us, that is really where it begins: and it means that we intentionally welcome all people regardless of gender, age, race, color, sexuality, socioeconomic status, marital status, politic, or physical condition. At the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd we not only want to welcome you, we want to invite you to join us in growing in faith and love of God, and to live out our mission of seeing Christ in all persons and serving all persons in Christ.   We believe that only together we can do the work of Jesus in loving God and loving our neighbors.   In our parish’s life, we have found living this mission to be at times challenging and exhilarating, joyful and fulfilling, and that there truly is a place for all of us. Our prayer is that you will find at the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd a safe place for spiritual exploration and healing, a place where you find our words of welcome are really more than words and will join us in living out God's love.

The Sharing Cabinet This ministry which was begun in the late 1990s was suspended in March 2020 when the pandemic hit. For a while, on Wednesdays we offered a sack lunch from the front porch of the church. Then, in late Fall of 2020, with fewer volunteers to help and wanting to continue this ministry for our community, we placed a small cabinet on the front porch which the teams stock weekly with non-perishable items. We designated this ministry The Sharing Cabinet. In April 2023, Vestry designated the first Sunday of each month as Sharing Cabinet Sunday. On that Sunday, we encourage parishioners to contribute either financially or with non-perishable items to this important ministry of outreach. Donations are gladly accepted at any time.
