Music Programs

Good Sam offers some of the finest liturgical music in the Pacific Northwest. Thanks to the value that our congregation places on the arts, we can produce our year-long Sundays@3 concert series, traditional arrangements with full choirs and organ, Gregorian chants in candlelight, handbell arrangements, and contemplative Taizé ensemble pieces.
