From June of 2006 to March of 2024 I worked in several capacities at Grace Community Church in Boulder City, Nevada: As Children's and Youth Ministries Director for eleven years, Director of Music Ministries for 5 years and Associate Pastor for seven years. During the pandemic I produced over a hundred worship videos for our stay-at-home members so that they could continue to participate in the life of the church. During that time I produced many of my music videos shown on this website.
From August of 2017 to March of 2020 I formed and directed the Interfaith Peace Choir of Southern Nevada. Composed of people from different faith traditions (Christian, Jewish, Earth-based traditions, etc.) we regularly performed at interfaith gatherings around the Las Vegas valley performing a variety of choral pieces from many different faith traditions as well as some of my own choral pieces and pieces written by members of the choir.
I have many composed works including orchestral film cues, chamber music, choral works, guitar and vocal solos and instrumental solos. Access to purchase written copies of all of my available compositions is available by this link, on my link page, or at www.J.W.Pepper.com. Youtube videos are on the video page.
I am interested in collaborating with other church or non-profit groups with a strong commitment to social justice issues, a passion for enlivening the inner life of others through contemplative practices, and a commitment to interfaith dialogue. Please contact me for information on performances for your worthy fund raiser.
"The Feminine Journey."
The Feminine Journey references the ancient Greek myth of Eros and Psyche, and using that grand story as a template, explores the spiritual journey of a current modern day woman, Fiona. It contains an hour of original compositions used to express the different stages of Fiona's life and her struggles to reach a sense of wholeness throughout the challenges of pre- and post-adolescent maidenhood, her relationships with others, to the sacred, through aging and finally finding wholeness of self. The Feminine Journey is available as a day-long seminar for women to explore their own feminine journey and their relationship with the Sacred. For more information on The Feminine Journey, please contact me directly through my contact page.
Further Travels
In August of 2019 I traveled to London and recorded a collection of songs entitled, "Beloved" at Abbey Road Studios. Beloved is a collection of my written works that I am currently performing. The following month I went on mission to Outer Mongolia and experienced a wonderful adventure with the growing community of believers there. I am indebted to them for their warm and loving hospitality, the inspiration of their faith, and their example of dedication and loyalty to our loving Father/Mother in Heaven.
In June of 2024 I traveled to Sicily for the first time, but not the last! I look forward to more restful and rejuvinating moments at the edge of the Mediterranean!
In January of 2026, I gave a benifit concert for Emergency Aid of Boulder City, a local food bank for people experiencing food scarcity. We were able to raise over $2000.00 for Emergency Aid! You can watch the concert on my video page!
