Church of the Good Shepherd

About this church

Church of the Good Shepherd in Alburtis holds Sunday School at 9:00 a.m. and worship at 10:30. Its site publishes an order of service and streams worship online, allowing newcomers to become familiar with the liturgy before visiting. The campus also includes a community prayer garden, a quiet outdoor space connected to the church’s prayer life. Food-drive contributions are taken to St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Trexlertown for distribution to households in the area.

The congregation’s roots reach back to Reformed settlers who began sharing worship space with Lutherans in 1843 and established a union Sunday school in 1850. After many decades in that shared arrangement, the present Church of the Good Shepherd building was constructed and its cornerstone laid in 1971. That history gives the modern United Church of Christ congregation a distinctive place within the religious story of the Lehigh Valley. Someone comparing churches near Alburtis will find a straightforward two-part Sunday morning, online access, a documented tradition of Christian education, and visible commitments to prayer and local food assistance.
