Welcome to Church of the Good Shepherd

Directions from Downtown Binghamton

From the Courthouse in downtown Binghamton take Exchange Street heading south. You will cross over the Susquehanna River on the Exchange Street Bridge. From the bridge you will be able to see The Church of the Good Shepherd. It is the big white church on your right-hand side on the southern side of the river. Exchange Street comes to an end at the stoplight for Conklin Avenue directly after you cross the river. Take a right hand turn onto Conklin. The Church of the Good Shepherd is at 74 Conklin Avenue on the corner of Conklin and Livingston Street. Livingston Street will be your first left.

You may park in the parking lot in the back of the church (off Livingston Street) and enter through the red door, or you may park along Conklin Avenue and enter through the glass side door on the corner of Livingston and Conklin. You may also walk directly into the worship space by taking the stone steps up to the porch and walking through the big red door facing Conklin Avenue.

The Church of the Good Shepherd is completely wheelchair accessible. There is a wheelchair accessible entrance, an elevator to the sanctuary, and an area in the front of the worship space reserved for people in wheelchairs.

Directions: The glass door entrance on the corner of Conklin and Livingston will lead you directly into the parish hall. From there, if you proceed through the double-wooden doors on the other side of the hall and take your first right you will find the elevator that will take you up to the sanctuary level. The elevator is operated by a key which should be hanging next to the elevator. If for some reason it is not there ask anyone for help and they will find a key for you. Upon leaving the elevator on the sanctuary level and turning to your left you will see a doorway to your right which leads directly into the sanctuary. Once you have entered the sanctuary, look to your right and you will find a space in the front row that has been specially designed and set aside for worshippers who use wheelchairs. During communion you are welcome either to make your way to the altar rail or stay where you are and the priest will bring communion to you.
