Music Ministry

Our music calls us to experience God in worship as it disciples our hearts and minds for Christian living.

Our music is grounded in the rhythms of Anglican worship. We draw from the breadth and richness of Christian worship locally and globally, striving to encompass Paul’s words to the church in Colossae: "Remember what Christ taught, and let his words enrich your lives and make you wise; teach them to each other and sing them out in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing to the Lord with thankful hearts.” (Colossians 3:16)

This means that on Sundays you’ll hear music from a range of sources and styles—a coherent variety of psalms, hymns and spiritual songs that converge and theologically harmonize with one another for the glory of God and the building-up of the congregation.

On any given Sunday, song selections take their cue from the lectionary (the readings for the day) and the liturgical calendar (the season of the church year we are in--for example, Lent, Easter, or Christmastide).

Choir

Sunday mornings, 8:55 AM.

The choir joyfully leads our 10:15 AM services in musical worship each Sunday. There is no audition process, but all choir members must feel comfortable reading music to competently sing their part. Feeling uncertain? Contact Karin for more information or to shadow a rehearsal!

Praise Band

Sunday mornings, 8:25 AM.

Good Shepherd’s praise band is a dynamic piano-led ensemble featuring a variety of instruments, styles, and worship expressions. They lead our musical worship in the 10:15 AM service and serve on a rotating basis.

There are no auditions, but band members should be competent in their instrument of choice, be able to read music and chord charts, and be able to receive and apply direction.  We hope you join us!
