The Ministry of Music at Good Shepherd provides a program of graded choirs which gives people of all ages an opportunity to grow in praise and Christian leadership through music. It is a comprehensive program which will prepare our children, youth and adults for a lifetime of service to God and the church. We believe that the members of Good Shepherd, working together in Christian dedication, can contribute great moments of beauty and inspiration to lead in worship; that music is an effective tool in teaching the Christian Faith and the scriptures; that the music of the church is an offering to the glory of God. Each of our choirs is open to and encourages new members, both the greatly experienced and the dedicated and sincere beginners. The only qualification is a true desire to be of service to God and the church.
