About Church of the Good Shepherd
The Church of the Good Shepherd is an Episcopal parish in Scranton, Pennsylvania, part of the Diocese of Bethlehem and the worldwide Anglican Communion. Founded in 1868, the church has served the Green Ridge neighborhood for over 150 years, balancing traditional worship with active community service. The parish celebrates the Holy Eucharist with Hymns every Sunday at ten-thirty and welcomes all baptized Christians to receive communion. Beyond worship, Good Shepherd operates Seasons of Love, a ministry providing meals and clothing to those in need, and hosts community groups including Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. The church building itself reflects its heritage, designed by renowned architect Henry Vaughan, who also designed the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in Washington.
