Good Shepherd Episcopal Church - Good Shepherd Home

Today is:

Welcome to our website. We're delighted that you have chosen to explore Good Shepherd. We know that there are a lot of choices on a Sunday morning and we hope that after visiting us here, you will be encouraged to explore Good Shepherd in person. Every Sunday, people from all over Friendswood and surrounding communities come to Good Shepherd for the first time. Whether you are a life-long churchgoer, or just trying to discover who Christ is and what He could mean to your life, we hope you'll discover that you've come to a good place.

Good Shepherd seeks to be a sanctuary for equipping and empowering people to deal with the issues of life in an atmosphere of love, security and support. We find sanctuary in Jesus Christ. We are called to model sanctuary for others in the community and in the world.
