 Welcome   
Welcome to the Church of the Good Shepherd!

We are a vibrant and welcoming community of faith in downtown Lexington. You will find that our members make Good Shepherd their church home for a variety of different reasons:  the glorious Episcopal worship service, the warmth of the community, the inspiring music, the wide range of Christian Formation, an outstanding Outreach ministry, a vibrant youth program, the passionate spirit of inclusion, and the open-mindedness that welcomes questions, debate, and discovery.

Who is welcome at Good Shepherd?  Everyone! We welcome into Good Shepherd’s parish all people who seek to love God and participate in an open and supportive community based upon the example and teachings of Jesus Christ. That means we respect the dignity of every human person by welcoming and affirming all.We hope you'll visit us one Sunday morning. We look forward to meeting you.

New to the Lexington or Good Shepherd?  Newcomers are always welcome at Good Shepherd Episcopal Church. Join us at any of our services and especially for coffee and Lexington’s famous Spalding’s donuts between services.  Click here for more information.
