“When in our music God is glorified, and adoration leaves no room for pride, it is as though the whole creation cried Alleluia!” – F. Pratt Green (The Hymnal 1982, Hymn #420)
Our Music Ministry plays an extremely vital role in serving Worship. From the core singing of hymns, psalms, and spiritual songs by those assembled for worship, to the specially prepared musical offerings by choirs, instruments, and soloists, all music is offered solely to the glory of God.
We have five music ensembles, three of which meet weekly during the year (Sept thru May). For more information about any of these groups, contact our Director of Music, Larry Reynolds, at 612-824-2697, ext. 16, or email him here.
Our choir sings every Sunday at the 10 o’clock service, September through May. Rehearsals are held every Wednesday, 7:15-8:45 PM, and at 9:15 on Sunday mornings. The choir also sings on special feast days, including Christmas Eve, Ash Wednesday, Holy Week, and Easter. Other singing times include Festival of Lessons and Carols on Advent 4, and special concerts. The choir’s broad repertoire includes selections from classical and contemporary choral music, traditional and contemporary hymns, gospel, and jazz.
We have just established a new youth choir too. Practices are held immediately following 10AM Sunday worship services, beginning around 11:15AM. All school-aged children are welcome!
Ages 8 and up Singing five or six Sundays a season, this group is still seeking a time and space to begin. Let us know if you are interested.

C.H.I.M.E. (Chimes Harmonizing In Music Exploration)
Hand chime ringing is a wonderful way for children to make music while learning to sight-read, understand rhythm, and play with others. This group is still seeking a time and space to begin. Let Larry Reynolds, Director of Music, know if you are interested in getting in on the ground floor of this wonderful, new, and exciting venture!
