When we discover, create and innovate; when we make beauty; we add joy and hope to our world.

If you live nearby, you know that we fill our church’s plate-glass windows with art installations, reflecting the seasons of our life as a faith community. Or perhaps you’ve evperienced one of our summer, outdoor open mic nights. Each year we invite local poets and poetry-lovers, musicians and music-lovers, dancers and improvisors, to spend an evening together.

At Good Shepherd we have a rich history of showcasing the talents of our parish and our neighbors. We believe that creativity builds meaningful connections between people. We invite you to explore this page to learn more about our commitment to this belief and the projects we have undertaken.

Whether you are an artist, musician, writer, or simply someone who believes in the power of creativity, we invite you to join us. Together, we can create a more vibrant, connected, and hopeful world, beginning right here in Norfolk.

Creative. Curious. Faithful. Church of the Good Shepherd.

“Live creatively, Friends! Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don’t be impressed with yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life.” Galatians 6 (The Message)
