The purpose of the Ministry of Worship and Music is to meet the need for a wide variety of corporate and individual worship experiences, and to provide opportunities for musical expression to all skill/age levels of the congregation.

WORSHIP

There are five worship services each weekend at Good Shepherd. Our worship schedule remains the same all year. We encourage adults and children to attend both worship and Sunday School.
