Worship and Music

• Style of Worship. For worship, we pursue a convergent style selecting the best material from a variety of traditions. The contemporary worship elements use an eclectic mix of praise, ethnic, and worship songs. A variety of instrumental ensembles help lead these parts of our worship. The traditional elements include music and hymns taken from "Evangelical Lutheran Worship." For these parts of our worship, we use the piano and pipe organ as the main instruments. Occasionally, we also use brass and other musical instruments. We do all of this in a liturgical framework.

• The Lord's Supper. Communion is offered at both services every week and on Festival Days.
• Church Nursery. An attended nursery area for young children is provided during worship services and Sunday school. It is located downstairs in the Sunday School area.
• Music Ministry. For more about our music ministry, please take a look at the Music Ministry page.
