Rev. Carlson "Pastor Jack" is graciously serving as Good Shepherd's Temporary Supply Pastor while we search for our new pastor. 

Jack served for 13 years as Pastor at Highland Presbyterian Church, in Harford County, after serving churches in Lockport, NY, and Hyattsville, MD. He was a pastoral counselor for more than 20 years in the Washington DC area, and retired from active ministry in the PCUSA in January of 2016. After serving a term as Moderator of the Presbytery of Baltimore, in September of 2017 he was elected Stated Clerk of the Presbytery.  

Jack has published three books: The Spiritual Dimensions of Self-Esteem, The Spiritual Power of Communication, and The Disciple’s Song, a poetic rendering of the Gospel of Mark. Jack is married to Lynn McCormick Carlson and has three grown children and three grandchildren.  

Felix Nery, our new Director of Music, brings with him more than 40 years of experience serving as a Music Director in Christian churches. Originally from Brazil, Felix and his wife, Susana—also Brazilian—are both lawyers as well as musicians.

Felix joined Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church as Director of Music in 2025. His vision is to inspire meaningful worship experiences that connect people more deeply to God through music.

Good Shepherd welcomed our new office administrator in January, 2025.
