The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd

About this church

The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd gathers at 301 Corral de Tierra Road in the valley between Salinas and Monterey. Sunday worship begins at 10 a.m. and is followed by coffee and conversation in the parish hall. Services follow the Book of Common Prayer through praise, confession, Scripture, prayer, and sacrament, while preaching and music connect those ancient forms with present life. Holy Communion is offered most Sundays, and all baptized Christians are invited to receive. A livestream serves travelers, caregivers, and homebound worshipers, and weekday Morning Prayer meets online at 9 a.m.

Families will find nursery care on most Sundays. Children's Sunday School runs from September through May and pauses for summer, so parents should check the calendar before expecting a class. Good Shepherd describes itself as inclusive across ages, backgrounds, and life experiences, welcoming people who are new to church, returning, or seeking a spiritual home. Its setting also shapes parish practice: walking prayer and the beauty of the grounds are presented as ways to enter God's presence. On Easter morning, the congregation traditionally hikes to Eve's Peak for a sunrise service, weather permitting, with rides available for people who need them.
