Music Ministry
Music is a vital part of worship at St. Luke UMC. We seek to provide a place for all who wish to offer their gifts of music to the glory of God. Whether you sing, play handbells or play other musical instruments, the music ministries of St. Luke invite you to join us with heart and song as we seek to serve and praise our Lord.
