The Church of the Good Shepherd United Methodist on Route 50 at Lucas Road is the town’s latest church structure yet traces its lineage to the 1850s through mergers of Andrews Methodist, St. Pauls Methodist, and West Main Street Methodist. The 1964 union formed the Grafton Methodist Parish later named Church of the Good Shepherd with a 1967 opening and a 250 seat sanctuary.
