Worship Schedule
Please see below for information about worship opportunities during the COVID-19 public health crisis.
The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd is a worship-centered community that celebrates diversity, honors tradition, and transforms hearts and lives by building relationships across borders and spreading the good news of Jesus Christ. We walk a "middle way" between the Reformed (Protestant) and Roman Catholic traditions, seeking to express the fullness of Biblical faith through liturgy, teaching, fellowship, and service.

During this Stage, indoor public worship may resume with up to 25 people in attendance. Due to the limited availability, registration for all Stage 2 worship is required and participants may only register for one service each month. All diocesan and parish protocols must be followed, including mask-wearing and social distancing. Screening questions will be asked of all those in attendance. If you are in a vulnerable population or have a pre-existing condition, we encourage you to remain at home and watch online.
