Music
Choir
​​Do you love to sing – to make a joyful noise unto the Lord? Come to choir on Wednesday evenings and join your voice with ours!
​
The Good Shepherd Choir is open to all adults and youth. Our choir practices September – May on Wednesday evenings. We perform four-part anthems on most Sundays and need new/more singers on all parts. Please consider joining the choir. We are always recruiting!
​
Bluegrass Band
​In our congregation we are fortunate to have an abundance of musical talent. We even have a special summer service that features our in-house bluegrass group on banjo, mandolin, and guitar! The “Bluegrass Sunday” tradition at Good Shepherd began on a summer afternoon in 2008, when Rick Curtis and Dick Hickman began playing bluegrass and folk songs on their mandolin and guitar.

Our Organ
The Good Shepherd organ was built by the Dobson Organ Company, which is located in the small western Iowa town of Lake City. Free-standing, the organ contains approximately one thousand pipes arranged in 17 ranks and 15 stops. The pipe, are played by two manual keyboards and a pedal keyboard through an entirely mechanical system of levers and rods between the keyboards and pipe valve. This system, called tracker action, is extremely long-lived and has been used in organ construction since the instrument’s invention about 2,300 years ago.​​​
