This recorded presentation, from September's Grow Sunday, is the first step in discerning your unique attributes that help to build up the body of Christ as part of mission and ministry.
Watch the video and then take the Spiritual Gifts Assessment. Save your results for a later discussion.
By developing spiritual practices that resonate with our unique personalities, we draw closer to God. Many devout Christians weave their spiritual practices into a Rule of Life that sustains their relationship with God day to day.
There are times when we are called to go deeper in our spiritual journey, to explore more fully the story of our lives in order to discern God’s purpose. Here we introduce the Enneagram, an ancient tool that describes your personality in terms of who you are and how you relate to God, to others, and to yourself.
This one-day preparation course is required for adults interested in Confirmation, Reception, or Reaffirmation. This class is also for anyone who is new here and might be interested in learning more about Good Shepherd and the Episcopal Church. Youth confirmation is a separate program addressed through our Youth Ministry program.
Confirmation is the public and outward affirmation of a mature commitment to Christ. To be confirmed, it is required that the candidate has been baptized and participates in The Episcopal Way preparation workshop.
The Bishop of Southeast Florida confirms participants as members of the Episcopal Church during a service on a given Sunday of the year. Watch the announcements for dates and times or request information from the office.
Reaffirmation is for those who have already been confirmed in the Episcopal Church and wish to restate their commitment to Christ. People may choose to reaffirm their faith for a variety of reasons, like returning to the church after a long period, or to show support to a loved on e who is being confirmed. It is required that candidates participate in The Episcopal Way preparation workshop.
Reception into the Episcopal Church is for those who have made a mature commitment to Christ in another denomination by a bishop through apostolic succession. Those who were confirmed and received by laying on of hands by a bishop may choose reception. If that element of a previous confirmation was not present, Episcopal confirmation may be a more suitable option.
Cursillo is a movement of spiritual enrichment throughout the Church and our parish. The Cursillo experience begins with a three day retreat at which participants engage in warm Christian community and receive enlightening readings about faith. For many, the Christian life which follows is enhanced and enlivened. You may request information about this group at the link below.
