The music program at Grace Lutheran have varied parts to match the skills and interests of everyone in the congregation. In summary the musical organizations and their activity is:

Senior Choir - Provides support at the 10:30 AM Worship Service, as well as assists at 8:00am as scheduled

Junior Choir - Sings, once a month, at the 10:30 AM Worship Service

Bell Choir - Plays, once a month at the 10:30 AM Worship Service

Vocal/Instrumental/Solo's and Groups - Persons and groups from the choir and congregation present musical selections at the 8 AM and 10:30 AM Worship Services.

Organ/Piano - The pipe organ at Grace was rebuilt and expanded in 2000. The organ has great tonal variation and power to support the choirs and congregation.

The senior choir is open to interested persons, age 15 and older. The choir performs at each 10:30 AM service; except during the summer when the choir is on "vacation" and music is provided by special groups each week at the single 9:00AM service.

Vocal - Instrumental - Soloist and Groups - Directed by Steve Ziminsky. People from the choir and congregation are scheduled to participate as soloist or group singers in both the 8 AM and 10:30 AM Worship Services. The opportunity to perform alone or in a group has proven to be welcomed and exciting by the participants, because of the sense of individual accomplishment. Rehearsals for each solo/group are scheduled for 9AM on Sundays and either before (6:30 PM) or after Thursday Senior Choir rehearsals.

Rehearsals are both work sessions and fun occasions, held every Thursday at 7 PM.

An annual Christmas Cantata, a Christmas party and a spring banquet round out the excitement.
