Featured Upcoming Event
Poetry Wine & Cheese Night
November 18, 2025 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Please join us for a night of celebrating our poets! The Church of the Good Shepherd launched our first ever poetry contest to wrap up our creative summer series, Food for Body and Soul! We invited members of our community, as well as the poetry world at large, writers of any or no religious affiliation, to participate.
This year’s theme, “The Rhythm of Life,” evokes thoughts of the natural world as well as the spiritual, and provides rich opportunities to reflect on what it is to be human and to be alive.
All entries were judged by Angier Brock, Emily Pease, and Beth Williams, poets who, as part of the 2025 Food for Body and Soul series, led our poetry collaboration in June.
Welcome to Good Shepherd
A neighborhood church in the heart of Norfolk
We are a joyful neighborhood church that loves to throw open the doors and invite the world in for a meal or a party. We are strongly rooted in Norfolk, but we’re not homebodies. Like the city itself, we are open and connected to the wider world. We welcome newcomers and visitors from all walks of life.
We strive to be a community which seeks to nurture and grow the lives of the faithful, wherever they may be on life’s journey, and to care for one another in times of challenge and loss.
