Music Ministries


First Lutheran has a vibrant and extensive music ministry. Our music ministry expresses praise to God through song and makes an invaluable addition to our worship services.
We have a variety of vocal and instrumental groups that span all ages of First Lutheran members. 

Much of the year the various groups contribute to our worship services on a rotating basis.  First Lutheran’s vocal and handbell choirs rehearse in the fall, winter, and spring. 

If you’d like to be a part of First Lutheran’s Music Ministry, you are always welcome to visit a rehearsal, or fill out the interest form, and one of the directors will contact you!
