Good Shepherd Episcopal Church

Share a story

Are you looking for a church that is committed to building up Christians in mind, body, and spirit? A congregation where the worship is rooted in ancient mysteries? A community that brings the Word of God to bear on the challenge of living faithfully in the modern world? A loving, supportive parish that is committed to nurturing your faith and the faith of your family across every age and stage of life? A fellowship that works hard to teach everyone the importance of reaching out to your community and the world?

If you are, this is it.

Good Shepherd was founded in 1995 with 26 church planters. Since then, we have grown into a congregation of over 350 people! In June of 2000, we moved into our permanent home in Brentwood on the corner of Wilson Pike and Crockett Road. Our sanctuary was completed in September of 2006, and we finished refurbishing our education wing in the spring of 2021!

Our goal is to help you to find a home here – a Christian community where you and your family can worship God and live out your faith in East Williamson County.

We invite you to explore the rest of our website and find ministry and meaning here at Good Shepherd.
