About Us

Vicar

The Revd Alice Smith 

The Church of the Good Shepherd has a long established moderate Catholic tradition. We try to be a friendly and welcoming church, which meets the worship and spiritual needs of people from a wide range of traditions.. We welcome visitors and encourage newcomers to become involved at whatever level they feel comfortable with.

Our mission

As members of the Good Shepherd, we aim to “To bring more people to experience God’s love by making our church the much needed focus in the local community”.

Sunday Services

The main Parish Eucharist is at 10.15am.  There are servers and a choir who sing an anthem during communion and certain settings and other music as appropriate. Incense is used on festivals and other appropriate occasions. Common Worship is always used, with the Eucharistic prayer and other parts of the service varying according to the season. We welcome families and younger people. 

At 8am each Sunday there is a said celebration of the Eucharist with the congregation gathered in the choir stalls.  This also uses ‘Common Worship’ on most occasions with the a ‘Book of Common Prayer’ service on the first Sunday of each month.

On important occasions, there is an evening service at 6pm. These Sunday evening services may have a variety of forms, from Choral Evensong to a Taizé service.
