Good Samaritan Episcopal Church

Share a story

Good Samaritan Episcopal Church is a growing community of open-minded Christians who seek to do what Jesus taught us: to include, love, and serve all people without exception.

We are a church without walls, and we meet at the Harris Academy where we can serve and be with our neighbors. We seek to build a diverse fellowship, and we welcome all who want to ask deep questions and put faith into action.

Worship times

Sunday

Sign Language

Our worship is liturgical, meaning our service is planned out in advance and offers intentional rhythms of prayer, song, silence, and spoken words shared between the priest and the people, all as an offering to God. We all participate together and share in God’s presence in our midst.

A simple worship bulletin will guide you through the service, even if you’ve never been to a church like Good Samaritan.

Our style is a blend of old and new. We are rooted in ancient, sacred traditions, but we also seek to bring a fresh perspective to these traditions. We read the Bible, sing old and new hymns, hear a sermon, and pray together. We share in Holy Communion every week. All are warmly welcome to come to God’s table to share in the gifts of bread and wine, regardless of your religious background.

Volunteer opportunities

One time opportunities
Ongoing commitment opportunities

Serving people in need is at the heart of who we are at Good Samaritan Episcopal Church. At every Sunday worship service, we either engage in service to our community, or we reflect on how we are serving others as followers of Jesus Christ. We see the two as pillars that ground our life together; we serve, then we reflect on how God is speaking to us through our service. Then we go and serve again.

Our Sunday morning service projects partner with nonprofits and community service agencies here in Brownsburg, Avon, and Hendricks County (and sometimes, Indianapolis and beyond!). Rather than reinventing the wheel and having our own outreach program, or thinking we have all the answers, we instead offer ourselves to our neighbors in the community, who can help us maximize our energies and make a positive impact. This keeps our costs low and helps us focus our connectivity to the community.
