WE ARE THRILLED YOU'RE CONSIDERING MEMBERSHIP AT GOOD SHEPHERD. Our community is shaped by worship, prayer, service, and stewardship. We believe a robust faith is lived out in relationship—with God and with one another. When you’re ready to make it official, we’ll help you take the next step.
All baptized Christians are eligible for membership. This can happen in several ways:
TRANSFER FROM ANOTHER EPISCOPAL CHURCH - If you’re already a member of another Episcopal parish, you can transfer your membership to Good Shepherd. Simply contact the Parish Office to request a Letter of Transfer, and we’ll take care of the rest.
RECEPTION FROM ANOTHER DENOMINATION - If you were baptized or confirmed in another Christian tradition, your baptism is fully recognized here. Reception by our Bishop is a way of formalizing your membership within the Episcopal Church.
BY BAPTISM - Those who are baptized at Good Shepherd are automatic members. If you have never been baptized, we would be honored to prepare you for this this sacrament which marks your full entry into the Christian faith and into the household of God.
