Excellence in Music
At First Lutheran, we seek to carry on the rich musical heritage of the Lutheran tradition that supports and teaches the Christian faith. We invite all ages and skill levels to participate in a dynamic music ministry that includes congregational song, choirs, instrumentalists, the pipe organ, a worship band, and the opportunity for education in the First Lutheran Choir School.
