Welcome to the Church of the Good Shepherd
established in 1833
A ministry of the Swedenborgian Church of North America
 CoGS Pastor |
Every journey starts with an open mind, a loving heart, and a fresh pot of coffee! 
We are a Swedenborgian Church - an open and affirming Christian community that welcomes everyone, regardless of background or faith. Rooted in the mystical Christian tradition of Swedenborgianism, we believe that God is Love Itself and Wisdom Itself, reaching out to people through the diverse spiritual paths found across cultures. As a spiritual community, our purpose is not to argue over who holds the truth, but to love one another and walk together in service. Our guiding values are love, honesty, and being of use in the world. |
