adults
Life is busy. Between work, raising a family, and whatever else you juggle day-to-day, we understand that it's important for you to find certain things at Good Shepherd. Our goal is to help you feel that you are growing in faith, realize that you have something to offer, and know that you are connected to a community of people who want the same things.
Sunday mornings at 9:15 AM

THE FAMILY FORUM | 9:15 AM | KINCAID PAVILION

the adult choir
9:15 AM | SANCTUARY
Music is a very important part of the way we worship at Good Shepherd. Our choir considers it their ministry to provide music on Sundays, and find joy not just in singing, but in helping others to draw near to God. Members practice on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 - 9 PM, as well as Sunday mornings before leading us in worship.
Adult Choir Director - Aaron Easley
