The Church of the Good Shepherd
Welcome
The People of the Church of the Good Shepherd
aspire to grow continually in Spirit with Christ as our
head and the Holy Spirit as our Guide.
The Church of the Good Shepherd . 1401 Carrollton Avenue. Ruxton, MD 21204
Phone: 410-823-0122 - Fax: 410-823-4003
We are a parish of many blessings and we pray that
our spiritual growth will be witnessed through loving
concern for, and service to, our parish family as well
as the broader community, especially our neighbors
in need.
We find strength for the journey in diverse worship
experiences, rich Christian education for all ages,
and active lay ministry.
Our Vision
At first glance, our church appears to be a small, intimate parish with a "country feel",
located in a quiet suburban neighborhood. Enter our doors, however, and you will
discover that the Church of the Good Shepherd is a vibrant faith community with rich,
diverse worship experiences, a broad range of educational opportunities for children
and adults, strong lay leadership, and a wide array of outreach programs. The children
and teachers of the Day School fill our hallways and classrooms during the week. On
Sundays and many weeknights, the church, parish hall, and classrooms are alive as
we join together in God's name in worship, spiritual growth, and ministry.

Anti-Discrimination Policy
The Vestry of the Church of the Good Shepherd expects all groups using its facilities
to be welcoming of all potential participants in its activities and programs, and not to
discriminate based on age, gender, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation, unless a
specific program is targeted for a specific sub-group (e.g., women, men, seniors).
Furthermore, the Church of the Good Shepherd will inquire and seek assurance of
non-discriminatory policies from any outside venue where an official church function
will take place. [adopted March 2007]
