Summer Music Series

The Summer Music Series began with an anonymous gift made to the music program to provide a musical guest during the summer months when the church choir went on break. Over the years, this summer staple at Good Shepherd has evolved from a single Sunday with a special musical guest to three months of visiting musicians. 

Thanks to the generous support of our members and music lovers in our community, the 2026 Summer Music Series spans more weeks and includes more musicians than ever before.

Worship with us at 10:30 AM on Sunday, June 7, through Sunday, August 30, to hear some of the most talented musicians the Metroplex has to offer.
