Outreach

Whether directly or through supporting non-profit organizations, the Good Shepherd family is committed to serving those both close to home and in the broader community.

Our various ministries reach out to the homeless, the food-insecure, and those struggling to make ends meet. We provide meeting space in our Mission Center for support groups dealing with mental illness, addiction, and grief.

We conduct periodic blood drives on site to help provide this essential resource to hospitals throughout the greater Houston area. And we welcome visitors to our church with cookies and information about Good Shepherd Episcopal Church.

The Beacon

Good Shepherd parishioners serve food at The Beacon, a ministry for unhoused people in downtown Houston.

Feed My Lambs

Once a month, this ministry packs and delivers lunches to residents of a nearby low-income apartment complex.

Operation Santa

For more than 20 years, this seasonal ministry has provided Christmas presents for low- income families with children living in nearby apartment housing. With help from the apartment manager, we get individual wish lists with the names and ages of both children and adults. Good Shepherd parishioners purchase about 135 gifts each season and a team of volunteers festively wrap and deliver them in time for Christmas morning.
