The Praise Band
Our Praise Band leads the music for our informal worship service, as well as many of our blended services during the summer. Several members of the band perform with other groups and have written music for worship and/or for their own bands.
They play upbeat and modern music for an uplifting morning of worship.

The Chancel Choir
Our Chancel Choir has been providing soloists and small choral groups to lead the music for our traditional worship services as we navigate the pandemic. They sing a wide range of music. Full choir will resume when large group singing is deemed safe.
Director Chris Rust is an educator as well as a director, making Wednesday rehearsals a fun learning experience. Chris knows that people are busy and is flexible when it comes to family and work obligations. With his leadership and the talent of individual members, the choir doesn’t miss a beat.
New members are always welcome. No auditions are needed, however the ability to read music is a benefit.

The LOUMC Handbell Choir
We have an adult five-octave handbell choir: Bells rehearse from 7:00 – 8:15 p.m. on Mondays. The handbell choir generally plays monthly for the traditional worship service. Our ringers have a long history of producing great music and close friendships, and members retire only because they can no longer see the music.
Concerts and Guest Artists
Throughout the year we have the opportunity to enjoy concerts by our music ministries team as well as special visiting guest artists in concert and during worship. Watch our calendar and/or Facebook page for special events such as our Concert in December.
Our Organ
The result of a very generous gift from one of our members, we celebrated the installation of a new, custom Rodgers Infinity 361 organ in our church sanctuary in June of 2017. Our new instrument is delighting and inspiring those who worship at our traditional service.
