What to Expect

What are services like?
Our services are both traditionally liturgical and contemporarily inspiring. We have spoken services with no music (8am Sunday mornings), sung services with full choir, hymns, glorious pipe organ, and chanting (10:30am Sunday mornings), and more intimate sung services with hymns accompanied by guitar (5:05pm Sunday evenings). Eucharist - or Holy Communion - is offered at every service because we believe in the importance of celebrating at the Lord's table whenever we can.

What is the community like?
Good Shepherd is known for being friendly, inclusive, and welcoming to all. We are multi-generational and love welcoming young families, youth, young adults, grandparents - everyone! - to our worship services and activities.

What if I'm not a Christian?
Come and see. You will be welcomed regardless of your spiritual path because we believe we are all children of God and that everyone should be welcomed and loved, whether familiar or stranger. "..for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me..." (Matthew 25:35)
