Music Ministry
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness;
come into His presence with singing.
Psalm 100: 1-2

The music ministry of Union Lutheran is committed to leading God's people in worship. Every note of every song is an offering to the glory of God, a thanksgiving for God's amazing love and grace. At Union, we worship in a traditional style that incorporates music from many genres. It's not uncommon to hear the music of J.S. Bach alongside jazz or gospel within the same worship service. The electric nature of music in worship reflects the musical heritage of our congregation and the diverse community that we serve.
There are opportunities for EVERYONE to be in the music ministry at Union. God has given each of us a song to sing!

Adult Music Ministry
Choir
The choir is open to adult and high-school aged singers who want to praise God through the gift of song! We share anthems in worship and lead congregational singing for Sunday morning services and special Liturgical services. Choral music is selected from a wide variety of selections while growing together in our faith and using our gifts to share the Good News of Jesus with others. The ability to read music is always helpful, but not at all necessary. Contact Matthew Wensel for more information! |
Men's Ensemble and Women's Ensemble
The Men's Ensemble and Women's Ensemble of Union are special groups that share their musical gifts in worship every few months. The groups meet for a few rehearsals before singing in worship. Since these ensembles do not rehearse regularly, these are perfect ministry opportunities for persons who can not commit to the regular rehearsal schedule of the Adult Choir. Contact Matthew Wensel for more information! |
Solos, Duets, and Ensembles
Throughout the church year, many soloists and small groups share music in worship. These musicians, both vocal and instrumental, help to share God's word through their musical offering. If you have gifts for this ministry, please contact Matthew Wensel. |
Musical Outreach Ministries
The musicians of Union Lutheran are committed to use music as a tool for mission and outreach. If you see opportunities for musical outreach, please share your ideas with our musicians. Let's work together to share the Good News of Jesus with our neighbors as we grow together in Christ. |
