Summer Service Schedule

We have officially switched to our Summer Sunday Schedule! We will have one in-person service at 11:00am with full kids program offered at that time. Please note there will not be a 9:30am service until after Labor Day.

Do You Want to Join Our Small Group Leadership Team?

The GSNY team is seeking passionate leaders for our fall small groups taking place from late September to Thanksgiving. We have two key roles available:

Host
Open your home to provide a warm meeting place where our group can share meals and fellowship. As a host, you'll organize weekly meals and prepare your space for our gatherings.

Facilitator
Encourage engaging, thoughtful dialogue around our spring curriculum—no teaching expertise is necessary. Your role is to create a welcoming environment for conversation and community.

If you're interested in exploring these opportunities, please get in touch with Alicia Divers, our Pastor of Community and Mission. We aim to have leaders in place by the end of August.

Summer Neighborhood Meetups

This summer, we’re bringing our community a little closer—one neighborhood at a time.

One of the clearest things we heard in our recent church-wide survey? You want more ways to connect. We’ve heard you, and we’re excited to announce Summer Neighborhood Meetups—a series of casual, outdoor gatherings happening across NYC.

These are easy, drop-in friendly, and hosted by our amazing elders. Whether you’re brand new or a familiar face, these are great spaces to build connection, enjoy the sunshine, and meet others who call Good Shepherd home.

How it works:

Pick your neighborhood(s)
Click to officially join the group — this keeps you in the loop for all details and updates
Invite a friend — everyone’s welcome

Not seeing your neighborhood?

We chose these five based on where the largest clusters of our community live—but we hope to expand. If you’re interested in hosting a meetup in your own neighborhood, reach out to Alicia Divers.

Let’s make this a summer of connection.

Digital Church, 11am ET

Good Shepherd New York continues to post weekly online gatherings. We know that many are still uncomfortable or unable to attend in-person gatherings and a wider community beyond New York has begun to engage. We continue to move toward each other through these digital gatherings, our digital kid’s program, and our other community initiatives. You can visit our YouTube channel at digitalchurch.nyc and spread the word!
