Shepherd Staff

The Shepherd Staff for Children’s Music at Peachtree is a group of volunteers, parents, and friends who provide assistance in the choir and bell programs. At rehearsals, during Sunday worship, or at special events, shepherds provide guidance for our children in musical group activities. Shepherds also provide assistance to our directors, so that they are free to focus on teaching musical skills. Contact:  Mary Hoffman, , 404-842-5814

Music Library Assistants

Volunteers are always welcomed for both the adult and children’s music libraries at Peachtree. With such a large inventory of music, and the number of choirs receiving and returning music each week, assistance in collation and filing is helpful. Contact:  Cindy Gregg, 404-842-5846

Creative Assistants for Special Events

Volunteers are needed to help with everything from logistical assistance to decorations for events such as concerts, special services, and other departmental activities. Contact:  Cindy Gregg, 404-842-5846
