Assessment

Church of the Good Shepherd is an ACNA (Diocese of the Mid-Atlantic) church plant in downtown Charlottesville, launched October 2022 under church planters Robert Cunningham and April Murrie. DOMA is the largest complementarian diocese in ACNA, ordaining only men to the priesthood. Two Sunday services (9am and 11am) at 500 Church Street. Fills a real gap as a confessional ACNA presence in Charlottesville.
