About this church
Good Shepherd Episcopal Church meets at 495 Herbert Hills Drive in Hayesville. Sunday Holy Eucharist Rite I begins at 9:00 a.m. without music, while Rite II at 11:00 includes music, the Chancel Choir, and a Facebook livestream. Nursery care for children through age six is published for the later service. All baptized Christians are invited to Communion, gluten-free bread is available, and ushers can provide large-print bulletins and hearing-assistance receivers. Coffee hour follows worship, giving newcomers an easy place to meet the parish.
Healing prayer is offered after both Sunday services, with additional gatherings for prayer, meditation, a Wednesday noon Eucharist, and Friday Centering Prayer. The congregation began when four Clay County couples formed a study group in 1952; it became a diocesan mission in 1955 and moved into its present church in 1981. Its history highlights strong lay leadership and ministries such as the Clay County Food Pantry, Stephen Ministry, prayer shawls, youth mentoring, and mission trips. This combination of traditional liturgy, pastoral care, and regional service shapes the parish’s identity.
