Music Ministry
Music is wonderful way to minister and contribute to worship at Our Savior's. We have many ways to get involved in music at Our Savior's. Whether you are new or you've been around a while, we encourage you to get involved in some of our many music ministry opportunities offered here that praise God with voice or instrument!
When in our music God is glorified,
and adoration leaves no room for pride,
it is as though the whole creation cried:
Alleluia!
- ELW 851
