Worship

"Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture."

Psalm 100:2-3

Worship is at the core of who we are at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church. It is more than music—it is a way of life, a response to God’s love, and a reflection of His glory. Our Worship Ministry exists to lead God’s people into His presence, creating an atmosphere where hearts are transformed, faith is strengthened, and lives are surrendered to Him.
Rooted in John 4:23-24, we seek to worship the Lord in spirit and truth, lifting our voices in praise, uniting in prayer, and immersing ourselves in His Word. Worship is not just something we do—it is how we express our love for Christ and grow in our faith together as a community.
Whether through music, liturgy, or service, there is a place for everyone to participate in worship. Whether you sing, play an instrument, serve behind the scenes, or simply desire to deepen your worship life, we invite you to join us as we lift high the name of Jesus.
Come worship with us, and together, let’s glorify God in all we do!

Contemporary Worship

Our Contemporary Worship Team at Gloria Dei exists to glorify God through vibrant, Christ-centered music that resonates with today’s culture. Through passionate vocals, modern instrumentation, and creative tech support, we create a worship atmosphere where people can encounter God, grow in their faith, and respond with wholehearted praise. Whether you're a seasoned musician, a sound tech, or someone just beginning your worship journey, there's a place for you here. More than a music group, we’re a community that prays together, encourages one another, and grows in our calling to lead worship. Come worship with us, serve with us, and be part of something that makes an eternal impact.

Traditional Worship

Our Traditional Worship Team at Gloria Dei is dedicated to glorifying God through time-honored hymns, choral music, and reverent liturgical expression. We believe that traditional worship offers a rich opportunity to encounter God’s presence and proclaim timeless truths in a sacred and meaningful way. From vocalists and instrumentalists to those supporting behind the scenes, we welcome anyone with a heart for worship and a desire to serve. This team is not only about music—it’s about community. We pray, grow, and serve together, united in our purpose to lead others into worship. Whether you’ve sung in choirs for decades or are just starting out, there’s a place for you here. Join us in lifting high the name of Jesus through the beauty of traditional worship.
