This is an invitation to join one of the activities offered for singers and musicians at Good Shepherd. You don't have to be an opera singer or an accomplished instrumentalist to be part of the program.
What we do ask for is a commitment to praising the Lord through your musical talents and a commitment to the group you have joined.

We hope that one of the musical ministries listed below will be what you are looking for and that you will join us in praising God through music.
