Music Ministry

To worship and praise God with heart, soul, mind and strength is the goal of the Music Ministry of Gethsemane. By participating in a wide range of choral and instrumental groups, persons of all ages are enabled to offer their gifts in worship, for the benefit of the community, and as a creative response to God's love.

Gethsemane has a strong musical heritage with a beautifully accoustically designed sanctuary. All of the choirs are open to all in order to share the joy of singing. We also invite individuals and small groups to offer their special gifts of music to enhance our worship throughout the year. Please contact one of the directors or one of our pastors.

Martin Luther referred to music as the 5th gospel! Gethsemane offers spirit filled music with worship, offering everything from grand traditional pipe organ to keyboard, flute and guitar. The heart of music is certainly the Paul Fort Gethsemane Memorial Pipe Organ.

Talented Gethsemane musicians play traditional pipe organ music with worship the first, second, fourth and fifth Sunday of each month. The third Sundays, worship is lead by a music team featuring acoustic guitar, keyboard, piano, flute and congas. This service is worshipful and uses a bit more contemporary sound with a liturgical order of service.

You are invited to share music within Gethsemane worship. Call the church office for the current schedule.
