MUSIC

What We Offer

Whether you prefer to make a joyful noise in the pews on Sunday morning or enjoy sharing your musical ability with the congregation, Good Shepherd has a place for you. Our worship music ranges from beloved traditional hymns to contemporary praise songs and is accompanied by organ or keyboard, drums or guitars, wind instruments or strings. We set aside one Sunday each month just for traditional church music and another featuring contemporary songs and beats, with the rest of the Sundays blending the best of both. Our diverse musical styles lift hearts and inspire worship.
