Church of the
GOOD SHEPHERD/
IMMANUEL ST. JAMES CHAPEL
OVER A CENTURY in SHELTON
For over one hundred years, the parish of the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd/Immanuel St. James Chapel has ministered to the people of Shelton and the surrounding communities.
​
It is a parish where some of its communicants have arrived in Shelton recently, and others whose forbearers were here at the founding of the city. It is a parish whose welcome is as wide as the front door, and it is eager to share the journey of Christ’s people.
"I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand, who is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away–and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. The hired hand runs away because a hired hand does not care for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me..."

WELCOMING YOU HOME
Home is about connection and Good Shepherd welcomes you to become a part of our community of Faith as we seek to empower ourselves in Christ, both as individuals and as church. We meet Christ in community by worshiping, eating, and playing together. We grow stronger as people as we journey the spiritual path together. In the mystery of Sacrament we touch, hold, and taste the very Presence of Christ each Sunday. Are you looking for a spiritual home that will empower you, be there for you when you need someone, and provide a strong refuge in uncertain times? Then come on by and check us out!
