Music Ministry at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church

At Mount Calvary, music is central to our worship and spiritual life. We embrace a wide range of musical genres and traditions, believing that all music is sacred when it deepens our understanding of God, strengthens our faith, and connects us as a community. Our worship music includes everything from timeless classical pieces to folk, jazz, global, and even contemporary pop styles.

Our music ministry is brought to life by several choirs, our magnificent pipe organ, piano, guitar, and a diverse array of instruments. We warmly welcome volunteer musicians of all ages and skill levels to join one of our music groups, whether you're a seasoned performer or exploring music for the first time. At Mount Calvary, there's a place for everyone to share their gifts and lift their voices in praise.

Key Highlights:

  • Diverse worship music: classical, folk, jazz, global, and pop

  • Led by choirs, pipe organ, piano, guitar, and more

  • Open to volunteer musicians of all ages and experience levels

Get involved and be part of a vibrant music community that celebrates both tradition and innovation in worship!
