Worship & Music
Honest, engaging & meaningful
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.
Labor Day through mid-May
Traditional Service 8:30 and 9:45 am, Sanctuary
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.

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.
Summer Worship begins June 2023

Music plays a vital role in our worship experience, and Augustana has a long tradition of quality music.

Augustana presents several concerts by professional ensembles and soloists throughout the year.
