Lift Up Your Hearts
Music has a vital role as we engage in worship of God. Music imprints scripture and truth on our hearts so that these words learned and sung will remain with us for a lifetime. Our ensembles are welcoming, joyful groups that have fun, share joys and concerns, and most of all, love making beautiful and powerful music as we seek and praise God while engaging people to worship Him!

Organ
The organ in the Historic Sanctuary was first heard in worship on June 7, 1961 and built by The Schantz Organ Company. In September of 2008, the console was replaced by Miller Pipe Organ Services Inc. and Walker digital stops were added to expand the instrument.
