Worship Music

Our Music Program

Sounds to Invite, Engage, & Inspire

All worship music at Holy Trinity is planned to invite, engage, and inspire participants to enhance their worship experience. We are abundantly blessed with talented singers, ringers, and instrumentalists. Our choirs and individual musicians enhance the mix of musical styles in worship, with some services featuring our pipe organ and others featuring The Praise Project. Regardless of the worship music style, all services follow a traditional Lutheran format, with sung liturgy selections and several hymns. Learn more about our musicians and ensembles below.

Holy Trinity’s music program also features a concert series each year, bringing in talented and recognized musicians to provide free community concerts. Learn more about this year’s concert line-up on our concert page.

Pipe Organ

On the second and fourth Sundays of months during which in-person, indoor worship is being offered and when the major festivals of Reformation, Christmas Eve, Palm/Passion Sunday, and Easter can be celebrated with in-person, indoor worship, the pipe organ is used to lead the worship music.  These services tend to feature traditional hymn selections, but modern hymns also are used. 

The Praise Project

On the first, third, and any fifth Sundays, The Praise Project (a contemporary instrumental group) leads our worship music. With piano, guitar, bass, light percussion and other instruments, the pre-service and post-service music offered by the group regularly includes jazz, Gospel, and blues arrangements. These services tend to feature more modern hymn selections, but traditional hymns also are used. 

The Praise Project rehearses on the 1st and 3rd Sundays each month, 9:00 to 9:30 a.m. before playing for worship at 10:00 a.m. Those interested in The Praise Project participation or in providing a solo or small group music offering should contact Josh Brown, Director of Music.

Choirs & Ensembles

Holy Trinity has vocal and handbell choirs, a recorder ensemble, a contemporary instrumental ensemble, a wind ensemble that plays on festival Sundays, and many opportunities for solo or small groups of singers or instrumentalists to provide special music for a worship service.

There’s A Place for you

Throughout the past 75 years, Holy Trinity’s members have made the music program a prominent feature of both worship and community gatherings. The goal is to ensure that everyone not only has access to hear inspiring music and messages, but has the ability to preform and engage in creating music. Thus, everyone of all ages, talent levels, and experience is invited to participate in a choir or ensemble if desired. Our music team is dedicated to helping you grow in your musical aspirations. New members are always welcome in the choirs, consort, and wind ensemble. Please contact Josh Brown to learn more. Those who are interested in Christus Bells but do not have handbell experience should contact Erika Johnson for information on new ringer classes.
