Music Ministries

Music is a servant of the Gospel and the primary means of worshiping God at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church. 

In addition to joining our choirs or instrumental groups, there are other opportunities for instrumentalists and vocalists to share their musical gifts during worship at Gloria Dei. Members and friends are encouraged to contact Michael Zemek, Director of Music Ministries, to schedule a musical offering. Come join us!


- Choir -

Sanctuary Choir meets in the sanctuary at 7:30 p.m., or at 7:50 p.m. during the season of Lent on Wednesday nights, late August through Pentecost.

New singers always welcome!





- Ensemble Groups -

Gloria Dei is blessed with many musical talents! A Brass Ensemble plays on Festival Sundays. Wittenburg Steamroller--directed by Jerry Zinn--gathers instrumentals from within the congregation and beyond to play holiday music during church services the Sunday before Christmas.
