Worship at the Olde Towne Inn started in 1991, with the official anniversary being June 8th.
Prior to that members had met in each other’s houses until numbers grew and worship services moved to the Olde Towne Inn on Highway 11. After affiliating with the Congregational Christian Churches of Canada, Rev. Micheal Shute was called to be our first pastor and he remained with us until 2002.
As the congregation continued to grow, we quickly outgrew the meeting room of the Olde Towne Inn
and needed to look at alternatives.
Doors closed and opened as God led us to our present location, where we built a handicapped and senior friendly church. We spent the winter of 1995/1996 planning, consulting and raising money.
A special leader was brought in to assist with our vigorous campaign, A Venture of Faith, to fund the costs, the result being that it was completely paid for within 3 years. The building started in earnest in the spring of ‘96, and was sufficiently advanced by June so that we were able to hold our anniversary service in a half completed building with no roof. What a joyous meeting. By fall that year, the church was completed and our move was final.
Pastor David Murphy came in 2003 and ministered to the church until 2006.
At that time the Good Shepherd chose to become a non-denominational Evangelical church
and in 2007 Rev. Dr. Mike Vezina was called to pastor. The Good Shepherd developed its current vision, and is focused on providing an environment where people can experience spiritual uplifting and healing in God’s presence. Pastor Steve Crosby was called to pastor in 2011 and continues to guide us on our path chosen by our Lord and Savior.
