Welcome to Our Church!
On behalf of The Church of the Good Shepherd in Nashua New Hampshire, we extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to each and every one of you. We are thrilled that you have chosen to join us in worship and fellowship.
A Diverse and Inclusive Congregation
At Church of the Good Shepherd we proudly celebrate the diversity that brings us together as a congregation. We welcome people from all walks of life, regardless of their background, race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation. Our church strives to be a safe and accepting space where everyone is valued and respected.
Worship and Fellowship Opportunities
We believe that worship is not limited to a single day of the week. Our church offers a variety of spiritual growth and fellowship opportunities throughout the year. From vibrant liturgical Sunday services to contemplative prayer gatherings and serving in our local community, there is something for everyone to get involved in while they strengthen their relationships with God and with one another. Visit our Worship and Grow pages for specific services and programs.
Children and Youth Ministry
Children are a welcome and vital part of our community. We provide Sunday School, Youth Group, Acolyte training and a dedicated staffed nursery during our program year (September - June). Children and teens are encouraged to participate fully in the life of the church. Each Sunday children have the chance to learn and grow in our Sunday School and then join in the communal worship during the passing of the peace. We hold frequent Family Eucharist services where children are encouraged to be actively involved in leading our worship. Visit our Sunday School and Youth Group pages to register and learn more.

By sharing your time and effort, you will not only add to unique tapestry of our community but also experience the joy of making a positive difference in the lives of others.
