In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen
Peace and grace our brethren,
We welcome you to our church! Please join us for worship, fellowship, and service to our Lord’s brethren. Christ the Good Shepherd is an Orthodox Church under the Church of Alexandria founded by St. Mark the Evangelist in the first century. The Church is the hospital that serves all of those in need of healing. We personally invite you and your loved ones to be a part of our family. We hope to see you soon.
Food bank service
Looking to give back to the community? Our church has the blessing of serving its community every Wednesday and Saturday. Through our food bank, we sort, prepare, and distribute food to all those in need, and we look forward to seeing you there.
Divine Liturgy
Come join us every Sunday at 8 a.m. as we celebrate the Divine Liturgy and learn about the Coptic Church, founded in the first century.
Hot meal service
By the grace of God, it has been a long-time vision that we would have the chance to prepare hot meals and pass them to the less fortunate. We now prepare hot meals Monday–Saturday. Come join us as we get a blessing from the brothers and sisters of Christ.
Our Mission & Vision
For Christ. With Christ. In Christ. Through Christ.
