The Church of the Good Shepherd

We are a United Methodist church that has been an active spiritual center in the Vienna community for more than 34 years. Our mission is to worship God with all of our gifts and talents. We are a caring community, active in prayer and service for our church members and for our neighbors in need. We are committed to making a difference. In all things, we are reaching out in love and understanding to all people, just as Christ is constantly reaching out to us. We are a congregation of diverse individuals who welcome new opportunities to serve as instruments of God’s grace, stewards of God’s gifts and messengers of God’s love.
