The Church of the Good Shepherd is a fully operational church
and the only church in Takapō | Lake Tekapo.
Currently we are enjoying services conducted by our Transitional Minister, Reverend Dan Yeazel, and Richard Plummer who blesses us with music and preaching each summer.
You are very welcome to join us for our regular Sunday Services where we welcome worshippers from all over the world and from all Christian worship traditions.
The service is approximately 1 hour long and is an informal combination of liturgy, singing and prayer. The Eucharist is shared when Reverend Dan is leading the service.
