Whatever your age, you’ll find something just for you at Grace. Our worship services range from informal to traditional. We care about people. So in everything we do, we want you to feel welcome and invited.

The music ministry at Grace is a very high priority. This is because there is a connection between song and Scripture found throughout the pages of the Bible.

Chancel Choir - Made up of both men and women, this group is the largest choir at Grace.

Men’s Choir - This is a four part men’s choir for males.

Joy Choir - This women’s choir generally sings in three part harmony, SSA.

Hand Bell Choir - Grace has been blessed with a wonderful four octave set of hand bells. Our bell choir plays a wide range of repertoire and at times accompanies our choirs. It is a very eclectic group made up of people of all ages. Our hand bell choir is often in demand in the community especially during the Advent/Christmas season.

New Song Band - Made up of a mixture of professional and amateur musicians, our New Song Band regularly leads congregational singing in the New Song Contemporary Service. These vocalists and instrumentalists lead us in the singing of the very best in Contemporary Christian music.

Grace Lutheran Church is justifiably proud of its Music Ministry, and especially of the mighty instrument which has been faithfully leading us since its installation in October 1965. The organ, built by the Schlicker Organ Company of Buffalo NY, was co-designed by company founder Hermann Schlicker and Lutheran musician and organ historian Dr. Paul Bunjes. Mrs. Ella B. Buenger donated funds for the organ, and it was dedicated on October 24.

The three-manual console uses its 49 tilt stop tablets, 21 pistons and 2-1/2” of wind pressure to control 38 ranks of pipes as well as a 24 bell set of Deagan Chimes, a 6 note Klann Zimberlstern and an electronic 32’ Sub-Bourdon; a total of nearly 2100 pipes encompassing a range of 9 octaves.

The organ is located in the rear balcony about 10 feet above the main floor. The main case, which majestically rises to a height of 21 feet, contains the Great and Pedal divisions and the Swell Division, under expression, which is mounted above the Great. 35 Principal 8’ rank pipes form the façade. Paul Bunjes left his design mark in the unique positioning of the 488-pipe Positive division, which is cantilevered off of the balcony rail just behind the organ bench.

The organ went through a major renovation in 1994 which included the addition of a 32’ electronic Sub-Bourdon, the replacement of damaged 8’ Salicional rank with a Viola 8’ rank, the addition of a Viola Celeste 8’ rank as well as the Walter Fechner Memorial Zimbelstern.
