Who we are
Grace and Good Shepherd are two of 26 mountain mission churches founded at the turn of the 20th century by Archdeacon Frederick Neve to serve the needs of the mountain communities along the Blue Ridge. Today, Grace and Good Shepherd comprise one congregation that alternates use of these beautiful and historic stone churches. We continue to serve the surrounding community of North Garden and Charlottesville through worship, service, prayer and outreach.
Our services follow the 1979 Book of Common Prayer of the Episcopal Church. Music includes selections from the 1982 Hymnal and Lift Every Voice and Sing II: An African-American Hymnal. The tone is both reverent and relaxed.

Teach us to serve Thee
Teach us, good Lord, to serve Thee more faithfully; to give and not to count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not to seek for rest; to labour and not to ask for any reward, save that of knowing that we do Thy will, O Lord our God.
