Church of the Good Shepherd, Canajoharie, was founded as a missionary outpost of St. Ann’s, Amsterdam.  The congregation dates back to 1852 worshipping in an area Lutheran Church.  The present-day structure was completed in 1857.  Other than the removal of the bell tower and the installation of a ramp entryway there has been little change to the original structure.  Interior upgrading has taken place, as needed. Of significance, two walls of our parish hall contain a mural vividly depicting Bible stories from Genesis through Revelation.  A two-sided, lighted sign was recently installed to touch those in the community.  The sign embraces the essence of the parish’s mission statement, which reads, “Reaching up…Reaching Out… Reaching Lives…For Christ!!!”
