Music and Arts

Trinity has an abiding love for and commitment to the creation of art, especially music. Our commitment to the arts is grounded in our understanding that human beings are made in the image of God, the creator. Human beings, thus, are created co-creators who live out their faith identity, in part, through the creation of beauty. As a Lutheran church, we build on our musical history that starts in the 16th century, and finds exalted expression in classical (Lutheran) composers for the organ and choir. But we likewise value music composed in all eras and styles that help listeners experience the transformative grace and love of God. 
A gem of our music program is our Casavant Frères pipe organ comprising over 2,000 pipes and originally installed in 1953. Under careful and constant maintenance, we strive to prolong the organ's longevity and ensure it can inspire worship and concert for years to come.

Our sanctuary is a space of great beauty and awe. Our cathedral-like architecture draws our eyes and spirits upward. Light is filtered through a collection of vibrant, dynamic stained glass windows. We use pieces of visual art to create prayer stations and give us new perspectives into God's being.

We encourage people not only to experience but also create the art we share. We invite you to bring your artistic gifts to our community and join in our choir and special musical initiatives.

Trinity Choir

Trinity Choir is a trained adult choir of volunteers and paid section leaders that leads the church's song in worship services from September to June. Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings from 7-8:30pm. The choir presents major works during Easter and Christmas but sings equally as engaging and complex music throughout the year for our weekly services. Choir members enjoy advancing their musical skills, sharing in a supportive community, and creating inspirational and joyful music. The choir welcomes new members throughout the year. Please reach out to Trent Whisenant, Director of Music, for more information.

Compline

Originating in the monastic traditions, when monks and nuns would sing up to seven services a day, Compline was the final service and would often be referred to as the church’s ‘bedtime prayers’. Today, it’s a 45-minute time of silence, meditative music, and prayers where the attendees participate as much or as little as they would like.

​

Upcoming Compline:

  • Advent Compline: Come and rest in the quiet beauty of music, scripture, and silence as we prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ. December 7, 2025 at 6pm
