We are a community making Christ known through worship, witness, education and service. Faith is privileged to have two pastors who deliver thought-provoking sermons that inspire us to grow in Faith. No matter where you turn at Faith, you're bound to see Christ at work. We are especially blessed with:
•Inspiring Faith Formation for all ages.
•A host of service opportunities in the community.
•A first-rate music program for those who sing, those who play, and
also those who hear.
Our Sanctuary Choir sings most Sundays at the 11:00 service and once a month at the 8:45 service. The choir's repertoire includes the finest of sacred music drawn from the Lutheran tradition including Bach cantatas and major choral works by master composers. It also includes music by contemporary composers in a wide variety of styles including gospel, ethnic/world music, spirituals and jazz.
Our Liturgical Choir is an adult choral ensemble that sings at the 7:30 a.m. services on the first and third Sundays of each month. Hymns from the Lutheran Book of Worship and With One Voice make up the majority of the group's repertoire.
Our Praise Band leads a high-energy liturgical worship setting at the 8:45 a.m. worship service on the first and third Sundays of each month. This group consists of a vocal team and a contemporary instrumental ensemble including guitars, keyboards, percussion and wind instruments.
Glory Ringers is our five-octave handbell choir for teens and adults. They ring once-a-month worship participation, rotating between the 8:45 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. services.
Our Hallelujah Ringers participate in worship once a month, rotating between the 8:45 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. services.
Our Brass Choir plays for festival services throughout the year. Trumpets, horns, trombones, tubas and tympani are included in the group. Music includes festival liturgy settings and hymn accompaniments along with music for brass alone and brass with organ.
Our Chamber Orchestra plays for worship services that require orchestral accompaniment. This ensemble of strings and wind instruments often plays works for orchestra alone in addition to providing choral accompaniments.
Our Children's Music Groups, Good News (grades 1-2), New Song (grades 3-6), Cantate (Grades 7-12), periodically both assist and lead the congregation in worship on Sunday mornings.
