St. John offers a Praise Worship Service every Sunday at 9:30am.  Guitar-driven praise songs framed by the Lutheran liturgy create a contemporary worship feel while maintaining a traditional message.  Come check out our Praise Service…we know you’ll love it!

Meet the Band:

Gareth Goode

Gareth Goode joined St. John as Praise and Worship Leader in May of 2020. He said he was “delighted and blessed to have the opportunity”.  Gareth has played music in church since he was 8 years old. He currently owns and operates a music school in Fair Oaks Ranch that offers piano, guitar, bass, ukulele, vocals, violin, viola, cello, drums, and mandolin lessons. Gareth is always looking for musical talent within the church to join the praise and worship band.

Heather Kinsler

Heather grew up on a farm in Missouri.  She has a Bachelor’s degree in Organizational Communications and a Master’s Degree in Business.  She married her husband Charles in 2004.  They have two daughters Jillian and Georgia.  They moved to Texas in 2015 when Heather took a job with USAA.  They love to be outdoors and spend lots of time camping in Texas parks.  Their family loves St. John’s Lutheran Church and feels they have become stronger Christians since becoming members.

Ellie Waters

My name is Ellie Waters, I’m 16 and have been singing with the praise band for just over a year. Over this past year I have grown to love using my voice in praise and have gotten to become more involved in my church. Outside of Sunday morning I enjoy doing gymnastics and hanging out with my friends.
