Music is a heartfelt expression of our faith and central to who we are at Trinity Lutheran Church. Over the years, we’ve embraced a rich variety of musical traditions, bringing joy and meaning to our worship. From our beloved choirs and classical music featured in services and special events, to our lively folk praise service on Saturday nights, bell choirs, Bach Vespers, and woodwind and brass ensembles—music is woven into the fabric of our community.
At Trinity, music touches all generations, with opportunities for every age group, from toddlers to seniors, to experience and participate in this vital part of our identity. Whether during worship or events throughout the week, music is a joyous expression of our faith, and we invite you to join us in celebrating this vibrant tradition.
"Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come into his presence with singing."
Psalm 100:1-2
