    1st visit here. Quite beautiful. I attended a zoom Sunday mass a few days later, for the first time. I expect to be returning. Thank you.

    A welcoming, inclusive come-as-you-are place to worship and be at peace in an otherwise chaotic world. A truly special space.

    This church is so unique, it’s quaint beautiful charm is only second to the amazing service that Rev. Phoebe Kitson presents to the congregation. She is truly a gifted speaker and her sermons are always relevant and moving. We are fortunate to have her share her insight and inspire all of us to be the best we can be.

    I have lived in the area of the Church of the Loving Shepherd for almost 10 years, and only recently discovered it when I heard about, and then visited, the labyrinth on the grounds there. It's a beautiful labyrinth and a very special and wonderful church. The service liturgy is a blend of several Christian approaches, which combine to make for an appealing and rewarding experience for people like me, who may be searching for something outside the more orthodox style of worship.
