Good Shepherd Episcopal Church
Share a story
We are the Church of the Good Shepherd - named after Christ, the shepherd and guardian of all. He knows his sheep, calling us all by name, and doesn't rest until He gathers all lost sheep to him.
When asked to describe our parish, the words people most often use are warm, friendly, hospitable, and inclusive. And let's not forget fun. We enjoy getting to know each other and get together often.
It is the spiritual dimension, however, that draws people to Good Shepherd and the reason why they stay. In Good Shepherd we find food for spiritual growth and renewal, through the liturgy and the sacraments, through service to others, and an opportunity to be with God in the presence of others.
Good Shepherd offers a spiritual home - a faith community where you can worship, serve others, and grow in the knowledge and love of God.

Sacred Ground Race Dialogue Circles
Sacred Ground is dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. Small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race, racism, and whiteness while weaving in threads of family story, economic class, and political and regional identity. The 10-part series is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories.
Sacred Ground is a resource coming out of Becoming Beloved Community, The Episcopal Church’s long-term commitment to racial healing, reconciliation, and justice in our personal lives, our ministries, and our society. This series is especially designed to help white people talk with other white people, while being open to all racial/ethnic groups. Participants are invited to peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day – all while grounded in our call to faith, hope and love.
