Church of the Good Shepherd

About this church

Church of the Good Shepherd in Tyrone, Pennsylvania, is a Global Methodist congregation that gathers for worship every Sunday at 9:00 a.m. The service is blended, pairing contemporary praise with traditional hymns, and the verses are projected on screens so first-time visitors can follow along without a hymnal. Sermons average about 20 to 25 minutes. A cafe serves coffee, snacks, and fellowship after worship, and the congregation is known by the nickname COGS. Dress ranges from business casual to jeans, and visitors are encouraged to wear whatever feels comfortable.

Adult Sunday School begins at 10:30 a.m. in the basement, and a children's Sunday School meets at the same hour in Room 110, led by instructors who hold clearances and follow a child-safety policy. A children's church called Breakout is also available. The building at 1650 Clay Avenue sits next to the Tyrone Area football stadium, has no stairs at its entrances, restrooms, or sanctuary, and includes an elevator to the basement. Community outreach includes the Family Closet, which gives away clothing on Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon, along with free meals such as a St. Patrick's dinner and winter soup-and-sandwich suppers. Volunteer roles include greeters, ushers, readers, and communion stewards. Confirm times on the website.
