Who we are
Located in the heart of Citrus County, part of the Nature Coast of Florida, Shepherd of the Hills is a warm and welcoming community of faith which is active in ministry throughout the county. A new parish (2011) it took but 16 years for the congregation to go from a bank lobby to our new facility on a hill, while being a beacon of faith to all who come.
Set above a new four lane hignway and visiable for quite a distance around, Shepherd of the Hills is a home to many ministries which reach out to those in need, while our stronge prayer and healing ministries build the body in faith and hope. Chapters of The Order of St. Luke the Physician (Nature Coast), The Order of the Daughter's of the King (Esther Chapter), our Prayer Shawl Mnistry, which comforts so many, and weekly healing Eucharists, all add to the power of the prayer life of this community.
The Light Shine Ministry, in cooperation with the Florida Humanities Commission and The Citrus County Chronicle, brings music, culture, speakers, history and entertainment, free of charge, to the county four to six times per year. Active in Cursillo, ALPHA and a very active and worshipping congregation, Shepherd of the Hill's spiritual nature shines brightly. Come and experience the love of Christ with us.

Shepherd of the Hills Church History
In 1993, a small group of 30 people started worshiping in an office at the Amsouth Bank in Beverly Hills, Florida. Shepherd of the Hills Episcopal Church was chartered by 47 members on December 5, 1994 and officially welcomed into the Diocese of Central Florida at the Diocesan convention on January 28, 1995.
During the summer of 1995 a small stone office building was purchased and the worship service was moved. A parcel of land adjacent to the building was bought in 1998 and a new church was built and consecrated on April 21, 2002. This building is purchased, and the stone office building (to widen the highway) and the land adjacent to the church grounds was purchased by Shepherd of the Hills with the county funds. The current church was then built on this land and consecrated in March of 2011.
Our 25th anniversary was celebrated in 2020! We have been blessed to have grown from a small group to over 300 today. We are still growing and look forward to adding more to our flock in the years to come.
