"My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee;
and my soul, which thou hast redeemed."
— Psalms 71:23

Our Approach

A Blended Musical
Life of Worship

St. John's sponsors a wide variety of musical groups and programs through which we shape and celebrate our Christian witness. Our worship style is best described as blended — incorporating music from different eras and styles, from ancient hymnody to contemporary praise.

We hold fast to the four-part, age-old form of Lutheran worship:
