Church of the Good Shepherd serves as a magnet in the northeastern part of Colorado Springs, drawing people who seek a living relationship with a loving Creator God. As a young church—seven years old—we appeal to people attracted to a freshness in the Spirit and an eagerness to build a church that is distinctive and relevant to the needs of today.
To serve you on your spiritual journey, we offer the following:
Church of the Good Shepherd participated in the Earthday Celebration at Palmer High School on Saturday 26 April 2008. We sold environmentally-friendly light bulbs and shopping bags, and enjoyed the many other booths provided by other participants.

Our worship music is accompanied by one or two keyboards. We also have Charlie, our music director, on the guitar and Marianne on violin. Sometimes Charlie has guest musicians supplement with viola, bass strings, or trumpet. 
Following worship, we meet for fellowship and refreshments in the cafeteria at 10:45. We take turns volunteering refreshments, so you never know what you might get! Regardless, the kids usually find tidbits to their satisfaction.
We meet at Explorer Elementary School on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. Regular worship includes Holy Communion, with Sunday School and childcare. Click for a map..
Easter is THE great feast day for the church. Only three days after Jesus died he rose, showing that life is stronger than death, that love overcomes hatred. Easter is the oldest Christian festival and the most important. The Easter season extends for 50 days, with Pentecost being the second most important feast day. Ascension and Trinity embrace the feast of Pentecost, one on each end.
Ascension commemorates the time when Jesus—after spending 40 days with his disciples to show them how life is transformed through resurrection—is lifted up to a new life as he leaves Earth. All around us in nature and in our daily lives, we see signs of new life returning after death: after winter comes spring with its sprouting of new leaves or after a death in the family comes healing, hope, and new life.
Pentecost is the second major feast day for Christians. Pentecost is essential because it:
Trinity Sunday occurs the first Sunday after Pentecost. While Christians believe in one God, they also believe that this God is diverse—which Trinity symbolizes. Thus, God the Creator is often prayed to as “God the Father,” God the Redeemer is prayed to as “God the Son,” and God the Sanctifier is prayed to as “God the Holy Spirit.” One God in Three Persons is a mystery, but God ultimately is a mystery.
