Music is embedded in the life of this church. A ministry of the heart, music cultivates spiritual vitality in worship, concerts, and community. Worship features a unique flavor of music with variety and balance. We innovate with courage, honor tradition, and expand how we praise God through the gift of music.
The typical worship music rotation schedule is:
1st Sundays: Organ/Choral Music
2nd/3rd Sundays: Blended Music
4th Sundays: Living Waters Band
A variety of music ensembles offer the gift of music in the midst of worship:
The 34-Rank Reuter Opus 1881 Organ boasts 1,982 pipes and is ably-played by Sonja Gustafson.
Chancel Choir is an SATB choir (soprano/alto/tenor/bass), conducted by David Nyberg.
Living Waters Band plays classic and modern hymns/songs and secular songs, led by Victor Zupanc.
Chancel Bell Choir carries on the tradition of beautiful tintinnabulation.
Sunday School Choir empowers children to share songs. Children typically sing in worship quarterly.
Groth Music Scholars share their musical gifts in worship throughout the summer months.
Special Guests enhance the worship experience, including soloists, duets and quartets, and many musicians of every instrument family, often including a Christmas Eve string quartet during the traditional worship service and Easter Sunday brass, as well as occasional guest groups.
We also host concerts. Ensembles featured in recent years include Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus, the Richfield Symphonic Band, the Apollo Club, and the Southside Singers.
