Lari's decision, to take time away from his busy production schedule for these events, stems from his desire to connect with those who give "voice" to his arrangements and who share his heart and love for worshipful, God honoring music.

His life story, from humble beginnings in rural Georgia to the pinnacle of his profession in Nashville, Tennessee, is a testament to God's sovereignty and grace. With many award winning projects to his credit, Lari has risen to become one of gospel music's most respected and revered arrangers and producers.

During his visit, you will not only hear him, as he performs alongside your choir, but you will hear from him, as he shares his heart concerning the "why" of what he does.

If your choir members could use a "battery charge," if you are looking to recruit new choir members, or if you simply wish to experience worship through music, invite Lari to your church. His love for God . . . his life story . . . his  accomplishments . . . his passion for good music (always, there's the music) is sure to challenge and encourage your choir and your congregation.

We are more like Christ as a result of your being with us."

Brenda Freeman - Choir Member
Hyland Heights Baptist Church

What a tremendous joy to have Bro. Lari Goss come back home to lead worship and to just experience the presence of the Lord in such powerful and touching times of worship! Both Sunday and Monday nights were unique times of mountain-top joy combined with refreshing intimate moments with the Lord! Lari, thank you for your preparation and your sensitivity to the Spirit of God. Thank you for being the same on and off the platform...your genuiness encourages me. Thank you for your gracious spirit and encouragement to the choir and orchestra. Your staff folks were so helpful and I was so appreciative of their desire to see God show up as we sang and played! We won't forget God's great blessing and our privilege to partner with you as worship leaders to the glory of God! I hope you get to "come home again" soon!

Don Startup - Associate Pastor, Worship
Tabernacle Baptist Church, Cartersville, Georgia

It was shoutin' time at Tabernacle Baptist Church when Bartow Baptist Association held its fall meeting.  Lari Goss and members of the area Baptist church choirs filled the choir loft and podium, and music seemed to fall from Heaven.  The voices blended beautfiully and the orchestra was touched by God.  It was a wonderful, spirit filled evening full of worship and praise! Thank you, Lari, Thank you, Jesus!

Kim Harris - Dir. of Church Leadership Development
Bartow Baptist Association
What choir directors and choir members are saying about the music and ministry of Lari Goss:
"If there was a Lari Goss fan club,
I would want to be the president!"
Fred Guilbert, Jr. - Minister of Music
Chattanooga, TN
"I'm excited about the possibility of visiting your church and I look forward to enjoying the fellowship of folks who share my passion for music.

Those who sing in choirs are special people. As a choral arranger, I'm blessed and humbled everytime I hear these wonderful saints make my music come alive. I want to be a blessing to them during my visit.

It is my prayer that these faithful laborers in the vineyard, so often taken for granted, will receive both a spiritual "shot in the arm" and the thanks which they so richly deserve.

God bless choir members!"
