Transition Ministry

The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd is a historic and beloved parish in Maitland, FL, with roots going back to 1883. We believe our history and our welcoming community give us a compelling foundation from which to grow. We are a parish with a solid foundation and a congregation-wide desire to open our doors more widely to a larger community.

Good Shepherd is taking intentional steps to reach out to our neighbors, and we are eager for a Rector who shares our vision and will help lead that effort. Our mission is simple: “Glorify God, gather people, and feed them with His grace”. We are Biblical and believe in the Creeds. We worship, pray, receive from God in Word and Sacraments, and then go out to do His work. Care for the whole person is woven into the rhythm of life at Good Shepherd, and it shows up in both our formal ministries and our everyday relationships.

A historic beach-side church located in the heart of Ormond Beach since 1890, St. James has a rich history and is committed to serving our greater community. As living witnesses to the Gospel, we reach out to all of God’s people to understand their concerns, serve their needs, and spread His word.

We are one of 78 churches in the Diocese of Central Florida. As Anglicans, what we believe can best be summarized by the Nicene Creed. We express our faith through our baptismal covenant, and by continuing the Apostolic Church’s pattern of life: personal devotion through the holy scriptures, active participation in Eucharist, and the prayers of the Daily Office.

St. James Episcopal Church is not just a place of worship, but a community of people who care for one another. Through our variety of programs and events for people of all ages, there is something for everyone. We believe in fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone can feel at home.
