Driving Directions
The Church of the Good Shepherd is located atop Lookout Mountain near Chattanooga, TN. From downtown Chattanooga:
- Travel South on Broad Street (US-11) towards Lookout Mountain
- Follow signs for Ruby Falls
- Broad Street becomes Highway 41 (Cummings Highway) after you proceed under a railroad overpass
- Continue on Highway 41 as the road winds its way up the mountain
- After about 0.5 miles, take the ramp on the left side of the highway labeled Ruby Falls
- At the crest of the mountain, continue through a flashing light and over a bridge
- Good Shepherd will be on the right immediately after you cross the bridge. Parking is located to the left. If you reach a fountain and a fork in the road, you've gone too far.

The following is from The Herald, the newsletter from All Saints Episcopal Church in Mobile, Alabama.
1. Worship that brings you into the action instead of leaving you on the sidelines.
2. A theology that demands using your intelligence rather than ignoring it.
3. A willingness not only to tolerate differences, but also to celebrate them.
4. A strong sense of community in which our consensus is Christ, not to conformity of opinion.
5. A devotion to the Biblical Sacraments instituted by Jesus which evoke awe and mystery instead of factual explanation.
6. An understanding that ministry is rightfully the obligation and privilege of every baptized person.
7. An insistence upon morality (what is good and loving) and an avoidance of moralism (salvation by code and not by Christ).
8. The heritage of an Apostolic Faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and in the Apostolic order given the church by him.
