Lift up your voice to God.
Music
"Music is vital to our community. When we sing during worship, it is our way of offering prayers and praise to God. I invite you to worship with us and to lift your voice to God in praise and thanksgiving."

The Good Shepherd Choir applied and was granted a one-week choral residency at Wells Cathedral in England for July 18-28, 2025. Wells has one of the oldest and most respected choral foundations in England, so it is a great honor that our application and recording were approved. While in England, our choir will sing for daily services in place of the Wells choirs who will be away for a summer break.
Our choir will also sing three Sunday services at the Church of St. Mary Redcliffe in Bristol, one of the oldest and most beautiful churches in Europe. Our choir director, Mattilda, was the Organ Scholar at St. Mary Redcliffe, and at the nearby Bristol Cathedral, exactly twenty years ago.

The Good Shepherd offers several Choirs differing in commitment levels. Throughout the year, our choirs sing every Sunday morning at the 10am Holy Eucharist, at Diocesan Music Events, Lessons and Carols, and other special music events throughout the year.

Music School
We believe that sacred music is a valuable resource for spiritual growth and that it should be accessible to everyone.
Good Shepherd Music School integrates music education into existing church activities like the Nursery, Children’s Chapel, EYC (Episcopal Youth Community), and continuing education for adults. Choral and instrumental ensembles are open to youth and adults, from beginner to advanced.
