Welcome to the Church of the Good Shepherd
We are a vibrant loving, and welcoming congregation who, as many other churches, are navigating uncharted waters. Due to the current pandemic and the need to safeguard our congregation and visitors, we are providing virtual services and suspending weekly activities unless otherwise noted.
This is a time for all of us to be creative in meeting the needs of our community both within and outside of Good Shepherd. Please check back periodically to this website or our Facebook page for updates on new ways we are striving to meet them.
May our hearts soften. May we grow in understanding and compassion through this experience.
May you be Christ's light and love in the world. Amma Dorrie Pratt

Father/Dr. Rick Carter will explore the contemplative side of African America religious traditions and see how those more mystical traditions reach across boundaries of nation, ethnicity, skin color, upbringing. Remember it was Paul who said to the Galatians -- "For there is neither Jew nor Greek, neither slave nor free, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
