Music Ministry

“The aim and final reason of all music should be nothing else but the Glory of God and the refreshment of spirit.”  Johann Sebastian Bach

Music is an important part of Joy Lutheran Church as it joins us together in giving praise and devotion to our Triune God.

The music ministry of Joy Lutheran is open to all who wish to share their gifts of music through participation in one of our ensembles or by serving as cantor, pianist, or instrumentalist during worship. Childcare is provided for all of our rehearsals. Please feel free to contact the Church Office by phone, 303-841-3739, with any questions you may have about this ministry and serving it.
