Making music to the glory of God.
Music is an important part of our life together in Christ.
Everyone in our community has a voice as we sing hymns together in worship. The Lutheran chorale tradition holds an important place in our hymnody, along with other hymn traditions and new hymns from the recent past. Our voices unite with Christians around the world as we praise God with song.
Worship services at Grace also include outstanding music from choirs, organ, and vocal/instrumental soloists. Cantor Michael D. Costello leads the music ministry, continuing a long-established tradition of musical excellence at Grace.

Organ
The organ at Grace Church uplifts congregational worship and adapts well to the performance of historic and contemporary literature. The original E. M. Skinner instrument was installed in 1931 and updated in 1956 by the Schlicker Organ Company. Berghaus Pipe Organ Builders rebuilt the organ in 1986, revoicing the existing pipework and adding new ranks and a new console.
