Adults
Life is busy. Between work, raising a family, and whatever else you juggle day-to-day, we understand that it's important for you to find certain things at Good Shepherd. Our goal is to help you feel that you are growing in faith, realize that you have something to offer, and know that you are connected to a community of people who want the same things.
Sunday mornings at 9:15 AM
The Forums
The Adult Forum | 9:15 AM | Parish Hall
Gather with others to explore a variety of topics ranging from books of the Bible to faith-related art to foundations of the Christian faith.
The Family Forum | 9:15 AM | Kincaid Pavilion (School Cafeteria)
Our family forum is designed for parents and grandparents to come and hear about matters of faith that directly apply to their lives and form a community with others who are walking the same path.
The Adult Choir
9:15 AM | Sanctuary
Music is a very important part of the way we worship at Good Shepherd. Our choir considers it their ministry to provide music on Sundays and find joy not just in singing but in helping others to draw near to God. Members practice on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 - 9 PM, as well as Sunday mornings before leading us in worship.
Adult Choir Director - Aaron Easley
Midweek Groups
In addition to our Sunday morning offerings for adults, we have several chances during the week for you to grow in faith, serve others, and find community.
Episcopal Labor Force (ELF) - Men’s Group
Mondays | 7 PM | Parish Hall
Meeting weekly throughout the fall months, the main activity of the ELF group is to make toys for St. Simon's after-school program, which serves disadvantaged kids throughout the DISD. A full, woodworking production line is set up to make the toys, and no prior experience is necessary. Men share a meal and watch Monday night football together.

Join us at Coffee and Scripture with Fr. Mills. Each week, the group will discuss the assigned scripture reading for the week. This one-hour class is open to all and meets in the church library.

Open to all women who are interested in exploring and discussing the Bible. This study includes reading and group discussions of scripture.

Dads’ Bible Study with Father Liles

Serve our Community & Parish
As a church and as individual members, we volunteer our time and financially support efforts that make a difference in the lives of others. We love service projects in which everyone can contribute. We treasure our outreach partners and seek to expand those relationships to increase our impact.
In our community…
Jesus called his followers to take care of the widowed and the orphaned, the poor and the imprisoned, the hungry and the naked. We believe it is our responsibility to help meet the needs of these people in our community, our state, and around the world. Through volunteers donating their time and by financial gifts throughout the year, Good Shepherd supports the following organizations:
Episcopal Relief & Development
Five Talents
HopeKids North Texas
Gateway of Grace
Now-Forward (formerly North Dallas Shared Ministries)
North Texas Food Bank
Our Saviour Community Garden
Patriot Paws
Reading Partners
Samaritan's Purse
In our parish…
Everyone has something to offer, and serving within Good Shepherd can be an excellent way for you to get to know people and become a part of our community. Whether it be in worship, with our children, or behind the scenes, the role that you play is necessary, and we would like to help you use your gifts and talents in the best way possible.
