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.

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 Contemporary Service features praise music led by the Celebration Band.

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

Beer & Hymns

Wednesday, August 10, 7:00 pm

Martin Luther wrote dozens of hymns. His wife, Katarina, was considered the best brewer in town! What do you get when you combine that legacy today? Beer and Hymns is exactly what it sounds like—we sing while enjoying good food and beverages. Augustana will host some light food snacks and you are invited to purchase your drink of choice. Bring yourself, a few friends, and join us at St. Paul Brewing for a truly Lutheran event! The brewery is located at 688 Minnehaha Avenue East in St. Paul.
