Love Takes Shape This Christmas
At Good Samaritan Episcopal Church, Christmas is more than a season — it’s a moment when love becomes visible.
Visible in welcome.
Visible in service.
Visible in joy shared between neighbors.
Visible in the light we hold together.
Whether Christmas is a beloved tradition or you’re seeking a fresh beginning, you are welcome here — no exceptions. Join us this season as we prepare our hearts, notice the light breaking into the world, and celebrate the love that takes shape among us.

Children’s Nativity Pageant
Join us during our Sunday worship to experience a joyful morning where children help tell the story of Christmas in a lively, welcoming way.
Costumes are simple, participation is optional, and all kids and families are welcome. Come for the joy, the laughter, and the warmth of a community celebrating together.

Christmas Eve Candlelight
A warm welcome awaits you during a beautiful, contemplative service filled with scripture, prayer, and carols led by our seasonal choir.
We’ll gather in candlelight and celebrate the hope and wonder of Christ’s birth. All are welcome to join in Holy Communion, quiet moments of peace and a clear message: God’s love is for everyone.
What to expect
We know visiting a church (especially around the holidays) can feel intimidating. Here’s a quick overview of what you can expect.
How should I dress?
You’ll see everything from jeans and sweaters to dressier outfits. Wear what feels comfortable and true to you.
Where do I park?
Good Sam’s is at 3949 S. Green Street in Brownsburg. Free parking is available on site. If you have accessibility needs, just let a greeter know, we’ll be glad to help.
What about my kids?
Children are welcome to stay with you in worship the entire time. We’d rather have a little noise and a lot of life than a perfectly quiet room. We also have a nursery available for anyone who would like to use it.
Communion – can I receive?
Yes. All are welcome to receive Communion or a blessing – children, visitors, the curious, the uncertain. You can also remain seated if you prefer. No one will single you out.
Who is Welcome?
You are.
At Good Samaritan we say:
Love all. Serve all. Include all.
No exceptions.
That means:
- LGBTQ+ people are welcome and affirmed.
- Families of all shapes and sizes are welcome.
- People who are curious, cautious, grieving, deconstructing, or returning after a long time away are welcome.
- Kids who wiggle, cry, or ask questions are welcome.
You do not need to be an Episcopalian, or have church “all figured out,” to come. You are welcome to simply arrive as you are, wherever you are in your journey.
If you have ever been made to feel “less than” or “othered” by church, we want you to know: you do not have to earn your place here.
