Martin Luther felt strongly about music: "I truly desire that all Christians would love and regard as worthy the lovely gift of music, which is a precious, worthy, and costly treasure given … by God.
We are blessed to have multiple Ensembles, Choirs and Instrumentalists in our community.
It is a joy to serve and work together in this ministry that Martin Luther calls a precious, worthy and costly treasure given by God.
We are always ready to welcome new friends! Choir schedules are available in the Music Room and will be updated here by August 30th.
