About Church Of The Good Shepherd Episcopal
Church of the Good Shepherd Episcopal is the oldest Episcopal Church in Lake Charles, with roots tracing back to 1885. The congregation welcomes all baptized Christians and emphasizes sacramental worship centered on Holy Communion, offered in multiple services throughout the week. Good Shepherd maintains an active ministry to the wider community through partnerships with Bishop Noland Episcopal Day School, the Tend My Lambs mission in Haiti, a Brown Bag Pantry for those in need, and annual community events like the Fish Fry for Haiti. The church has weathered significant challenges, including a devastating 1918 hurricane and recent damage from hurricanes Laura and Delta, yet continues to engage its congregation through spiritual formation groups, youth ministries, and creative worship experiences including online services. Visitors are invited to join Sunday services at 8:30 a.m., 10:30 a.m., or 5:00 p.m., with the 10:30 service streamed on Facebook Live.
