Jesus the Good Shepherd Church

Seeking solace at Jesus the Good Shepherd Church? Its story begins not with grand architecture but with a homegroup. This wasn’t some massive congregation. No. It was a small group of people. People who met regularly to pray. They sought God’s guidance for their lives. They craved spiritual connection and community. In the spring of 1987 this homegroup invited Stuart McAlpine to be their pastor. Their first service was held at Georgetown Lutheran Church. It wasn’t fancy. It wasn’t extravagant. It was humble. It was a beginning. Jesus the Good Shepherd Church was born. From there this small flock moved. They found temporary homes in other churches. For nine years they worshipped at the Capital Memorial Seventh Day Adventist Church. They then spent two years at Calvary Baptist Church in Chinatown. Finally in 1998 they purchased their own building. An 1890s stone Romanesque church building on Capitol Hill. This wasn’t simply a building purchase. This was God’s provision. It was a testament to their faith and perseverance. The church continues to renovate that building to this day. Their goal is to be a house of prayer for all nations. They aim to be a blessing to the community. They want to offer a spiritual home for those seeking healing and wholeness. The church’s focus remains on the teachings of Jesus. They believe in the importance of fellowship. They strive to reflect the kingdom of God to everyone who needs it. Jesus the Good Shepherd Church is more than just bricks and mortar. It is a living community. A community built on faith. It’s a sanctuary for those seeking solace and guidance. A vibrant hub in a diverse neighborhood. It’s a testament to the enduring power of faith. Come and see.
