With an average Sunday worship attendance of 375, worship and music are at the heart of our identity and mission. People at SLC value meaningful worship and see Word and Sacrament as the primary way we connect to Christ, making music ministry one of our highest priorities. We believe our ministry is an essential part of our proclamation of the Gospel.

With a large pool of people with musical gifts, SLC is hoping to expand our number of choirs, incorporate more musicians in worship accompaniment, have frequent solos in addition to our choir offerings, and have our music ministry be an outreach to our community.
