During the 1960's, church life at Blackfen grew rapidly. This had started with a mission tent run by members of the Church Army, and a Sunday School held in the home of a parishioner in Blackfen Road. In response to the need for a proper church building, the Church of The Good Shepherd in Blackfen Road came into being as a daughter church of The Holy Redeemer.
It fell out of use as a church in the 1980s due to falling congregation numbers but was still used by groups for social activities. The building was sold off by the Holy Redeemer in 2014 and is now used by Eltham’s New Covenant Church.
