SIMON GOUGH
Originally from Sydney Australia, but now from Mississauga Community Church in Toronto. I have been in NEON since 2016 when the group first started. I joined because I am passionate about sharing the love of God and giving people a chance to encounter God through music. I am still in the group because God has given me gifts that I need to use for His glory and I am still excited to see congregations worshiping together.

I am from London, Ontario and I attend London Citadel. I joined NEON in the fall of 2024. I wanted to be a part of NEON because I am passionate about providing an avenue for people to authentically worship the Lord. Being able to support the music through production and social media, I try to make sure the sound of worship is heard. I love the exciting opportunities to share my faith in Christ with others, and NEON has already been an amazing vessel to do so.

CAPTAIN SHAWNA GOULDING
I am currently the territorial youth secretary for the Canada and Bermuda Territory and was appointed as the executive officer for NEON in the fall of 2024. It is a pleasure to worship and partner with this group as they come alongside various ministries across our territory, bringing the bright light of God's love into a dark world.
