Good Shepherd is a parish of the Episcopal Church (Diocese of Utah). The Episcopal Church in the United States is, in turn, a part of the Anglican Communion, which is a diverse, worldwide fellowship of some 76 million Christians with a shared history and worship tradition.
We are here because we love the warm friendly atmosphere, the welcoming spirit, the reverent services, and our beautiful place of worship.
At Good Shepherd, single and families, young and old, mix easily together. Some of us have lived in this area all our lives, while others are newcomers from all over the world.
Some of us have been in the Episcopal Church for a long time, while others come from a variety of different backgrounds. Our worship reflects the Episcopal tradition. Because we find God in both Scripture and Sacrament, our worship is personal, as well as awe-filled.
Episcopalians are grounded in scripture and informed by tradition and reason as we seek guidance in our daily lives. We believe that Christians make decisions for themelves within the context of the community of faith. Respect for individual conscience is a key part of who we are. We are enriched by diversity. We combine traditional worship with the recognition that faith is a process -- an ongoing journey in the Spirit. All this is part of how we celebrate the good news of life in Jesus Christ.
Building Committee - Capital Campaign
Because of your generosity (over $340,000 in pledges) and a $1 million grant from the Jubilee Committee, we’ve raised enough money to build the new youth and education wing. We’re halfway to our goal. As we enter the second half of this project—funding the new chapel—we’ll need everyone’s input and support.
We’ve hired a consultant? Why?
At the urging of the Jubilee Committee, we hired the Episcopal Church Foundation (ECF) to help us raise the money for our new chapel. They will help us develop the best strategy for success in this challenging economic period. First step, a feasibility study. What’s a feasibility study & why do we need one? Before we begin Phase II, which involves offering naming opportunities to parishioners and community supporters alike, the ECF will conduct a feasibility study for us. They’ll interview a cross section of parishioners and potential community donors. And they’ll survey the entire parish to get specific feedback on donor interest levels. So buckle up for one more survey. We want to hear what you have to say.
Building Campaign Phase II. What happens next?
Once all those surveys are in, the ECF will use decades of historical data, to compare our remaining projects to donor interest and let us know how much we can raise toward the new chapel. Armed with this information, we’ll be better equipped to finish our campaign with success. Why are we doing this now? We’ve already raised enough to fund the new youth and education wing. We asked for 100% participation before we approached community donors, and you did better than that. But many of you asked to be consulted again when naming opportunities arose. Many of you have said you’d be willing to volunteer. The feasibility study will gather all this information from the parish and from our community contacts as well, then compile it into a thorough report with recommendations for the best approach for success.
