We have been called to nurture and build up in Christ the members of our church, equipping one another to share the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ with others who do not know Him, bringing them to the knowledge and love of Him, all the while seeking to be faithful stewards of the Gospel of Our Lord, and generous stewards of all the riches of His bounty.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

We celebrate the Eucharist (also called The Lord's Supper or Holy Communion) weekly on Sundays at 10 a.m. \n\nWe believe we truly receive God's grace in the Sacrament of Bread and Wine. All who are baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are welcome to receive Holy Communion at Good Shepherd Anglican.

Our worship is liturgical, using the 2019 Book of Common Prayer. In it we hear God's word read, prayed, and preached. Our worship is rooted in the historical tradition of Christianity, including prayers that have been used for nearly 2,000 years!

Our worship is participatory, engaging the whole of the person. We stand to praise God, sit to hear his Word, and kneel to offer our prayers for each other and for the whole world. We sing hymns and songs, both ancient and new. Our worship not only guides us but forms us into His disciples.

Originally located on Paint Street in Chillicothe, Good Shepherd Anglican Church (originally named Chillicothe Anglican Fellowship) began in August of 2004 under the leadership of the Rev. Rick Terry.  The church was then associated with the Anglican Mission in America, overseen by the Anglican Province of Rwanda.  After the formation of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), Good Shepherd became part of the Anglican Diocese of the Great Lakes.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

In 2019, the church moved from Paint St. to Mill St., where it spent three years worshipping in the former Zion Baptist Church, before being blessed with the opportunity to purchase a building in Bourneville, where it now meets.  Originally a Presbyterian Church built in 1914, and later a Christian-owned ministry and event center, we are delighted to continue in the Christ-honoring tradition of this property.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
