Church of the Good Shepherd

We are the Good Shepherd community in Lviv. Our church doors are open every day — for shared prayer, for a quiet conversation, for a cup of tea after Sunday Liturgy. We welcome those who have been coming their whole lives and those crossing the threshold for the first time.

About the church

The Good Shepherd community grew from a small prayer group that used to meet in a rented hall on the edge of the city. Today we are more than four hundred families, and we remain the same at heart: a place where everyone is known by name.

What we live by

Our week rests on three things — shared prayer, learning, and works of mercy. Services are held daily, the Bible study group meets Wednesday evening, and Saturday brings Sunday school for children and catechesis for adults. Every Thursday the community kitchen prepares lunches for those going through a hard time.

Who comes to us

Families with small children, students from the nearby university, older parishioners, displaced people who found a temporary home in Lviv. We don’t ask how long you’ve been praying — we ask whether you have someone to talk to.

How to join

The simplest way is to come to the 10:00 Sunday Liturgy and stay for coffee in the parish hall afterward. There is always one of the clergy there to answer questions and show you around. You can also write to us — we reply within the day.

Mission

To be a community where a person is met before they are questioned: in prayer, in learning the Word, and in daily practical care for one’s neighbour.

Vision

A Lviv where no one is left alone with their trouble — because there is a community nearby that isn’t frightening to knock on.
