The Good News-Goodtime Band is an independent, community-based band with members from a variety of churches and from outside the church community as well. There are a couple of people who don't play in church on a regular basis who DO play at other settings and with whom the core members share a repertoire and a long, varied perfomance history at community functions.

The band existed long before the Saturday night service did. The band did not form out of the church membership overall or the Saturday congregation in particular. In the main, most expenses of the band are not paid by the church or paid as part of anyone's pledge to the church. The church also does not own the sound equipment.

This has been reflected in our band website for several years, in the church website, and in the gigs the band plays beyond the church setting, some of which include a veriety of secular music.
