Good Shepherd had its beginnings in 1953 in the living room of a nearby home when 22 people gathered for a service of Evening Prayer on the feast of the Good Shepherd, conducted by the Rev. Nathaniel B. Groton. Soon, the small congregation moved to the one room Leidytown Schoolhouse, complete with a pot-bellied stove and outhouse. The building was purchased at auction in 1956 and the Leidytown School became the permanent home of Good Shepherd Church. Since then the physical facilities have been enlarged often, with the parishioners doing most of the work. Our modest sanctuary is a constant reminder of our humble beginnings while our modern and spacious parish house, dedicated in 1982, shows our commitment to the future and growth. The church building is situated on a wooded, seventeen-acre plot at the intersection of Route 152 and Hilltown Pike and the Rectory is on the parish property.

Eight priests have served as Rector of Good Shepherd. Presently, our Pastor and Priest in Charge is the Rev. Harper Turney.

God has richly blessed Good Shepherd. Parishioners are a mix of people, young and old, from a variety of backgrounds, who find here a sense of freedom, peace, joy and power to live and grow. We differ from one another in many ways and yet we experience a unity, which binds us together.

We hope that, at Good Shepherd, you will experience the joy of the Risen Christ in your life and that you will join in our great journey of faith.
