In 1963, the “Bible Mission” fellowship was founded at two small buildings that were purchased on 5059 Boca Chica Boulevard in Brownsville, Texas. During that time the church name changed to “Church of the Good Shepherd”. Additions were made to the house and outbuilding at that location to accommodate the increase from the founding few to 90 believers.

The church then purchased a 3-story property at 555 Elizabeth Street from a local Baptist congregation. This downtown location saw 21 years of life-giving ministry until the church leadership began strategically praying about moving towards the fast-growing, North-end of Brownsville.

By the late 1990’s, Church of the Good Shepherd had purchased land on what is now 300 West Morrison Road. Through a series of miracles, the Lord has provided for our current facility to be debt free shortly after it’s completion in the year 2000. We have since adapted our name to “Good Shepherd Community Church” to best represent our focus on ministry here in Brownsville as well as abroad.
