Welcome to Good Shepherd!
We are a diverse faith community in the heart of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, NY who believe a better world is possible and are doing all we can to make that real, both for us and those around us.
We meet as a church community on Sundays at 10:45 AM for a worship service that lasts for about 75 minutes. We then meet after service in the adjacent Soul Cafe for coffee hour, which often features special presentations. Our spaces are wheelchair accessible; we also have a fully operational lift.
We are followers of Jesus of Nazareth, and we passionately believe that God loves everyone with no exceptions. Although our worship is liturgical, it incorporates both traditional and progressive styles, including world music. On a given Sunday, our Music Director and musicians may guide our celebration with Celtic, African, Chinese music, or all three! We have a men's ensemble, a women's quartet, and the children participate with us at the end of service with rhythm instruments.
With a hopeful outlook, we are passionate about becoming better people and working to help serve our community, so on this website you will find a lot of information about how we go about that and how you can join in. On this site you can find general information, a brief summary of some of the things we do, and ways to get involved. Aside from Sunday worship and coffee hour, we meet together for events during the week such as scripture study. Our campus is open 7 days a week!
Life can be hard, and we need help and support from others. Often enough, though, life is beautiful, and we celebrate and have fun together. There are so many ways to get involved, so be sure to subscribe to our e-newsletter to receive our weekly community news updates, events and reflections.
