Church of the Good Shepherd

OUR HISTORY

Founded in 1972 as a mission, Good Shepherd became a parish in 1981 and was located for many years at 3600 Fall Creek Highway in Acton.  In 2008, the congregation split into two groups when the Diocese split. Our congregation retained active membership in the National Episcopal Church. The other group of congregants are now organized as Good Shepherd Anglican Church, which is part of the Anglican Church of North America.  However, we are the only Church in this local area recognized as a member of the world-wide Anglican Communion and the Episcopal Church of the USA (ECUSA).

While our original property has been caught up in the ongoing legal dispute between the Episcopal churches in north Texas and the break-away Anglican congregations, we have kept our focus on what is important in following Jesus.  We are now based in our new building at 4530 Acton Highway in Granbury.  We continue in our worship, our fellowship, and in our outreach programs which are very active throughout our community and elsewhere. Over the past 4 years, we have been the fastest growing church in Granbury and Hood County.

We meet every Sunday for worship services and meet regularly in our other activities. A priest in our diocese once stated that “pound-for-pound” we are the champions at serving those in need in our community.

We enjoy our friendships, our outreach and our worship. Good Shepherd is a happy church with happy, active members who strive to express the love of Jesus to all we serve.
