About Us:
Our Parish has completed the interim process and has called The Rev. Dr. R. William Carroll.

Over the past three years with the wonderful tutelage of the Rev. Michael Jupin we have begun learning how to keep re-discovering what we are about, our needs, our story. Some things are certain, we have a history, a location on the College campus, and many on-going stories of worship, praise, and service. Much of this, along with our hopes, are outlined in our 'Parish Profile'.

Come and visit us, you will be a respected and welcomed guest, but not pointed out or embarrassed in any way.

What Kind of Church is This:
The Church of the Good Shepherd is both a building and a spiritual presence in the very midst of the Ohio University campus. Since 1953 it has been on this southeast corner of the college green, and was positioned here to implement the vision of the late Bishop Henry Wise Hobson who desired that campus ministry be done in the vibrant context of parish life. The church was thus designed with its neo-Georgian architecture to complement other university buildings, and to become a connecting symbol, reflecting the importance of spiritual life and moral commitment at the core and geographic center of this institution.

The Church of the Good Shepherd is a sacred place within a secular environment. It has been made sacred, not simply by reason of a bishop's vision, but by the thousands of students, faculty, staff and visitors who have rejoiced and worshipped here or come in quiet loneliness to think, pray or seek guidance.

The Church of the Good Shepherd is not only for Episcopalians. It is here for everyone - all sorts and conditions. It is truly a house of prayer for all people; and by virtue of its prominent location on campus, as well as its history of worship since 1875, many believe Good Shepherd to be a religious cornerstone of Ohio University.
