Worship & Music
Honest, engaging & meaningful
Worship is the most important thing we do as a community.
Worship connects your faith with your life and identity. Because faith doesn’t stop when you leave the building, we want you to leave worship each week with a clear understanding of how the Biblical lesson is relevant to your daily life.
WORSHIP SCHEDULE
Please see worship information on the right side of this page for worship options during COVID-19.
Labor Day through mid-May
Traditional Service 8:30 and 9:45 am
We experience God’s grace and love in Jesus Christ through traditional hymns and liturgy. Relevant, thought-provoking preaching strengthens us, and the beautiful music of the pipe organ and choirs inspires us.
Contemporary Service 11:00 am
In this informal service of praise and worship, Augustana’s Celebration Band plays a variety of musical styles, emphasizing contemporary Christian music. Holy Communion is celebrated every week.
MUSIC
Music plays a vital role in our worship experience, and Augustana has a long tradition of quality music. Our traditional worship is enriched by four vocal choirs, two handbell choirs, and our Glatter-Gotz/Rosales pipe organ. Our Celebration Service features praise music led by the Celebration Band.
Augustana presents several concerts by professional ensembles and soloists throughout the year.
