At Ebenezer, we use music and art to enliven and enrich each worship service. The goal of the worship life at Ebenezer is to proclaim the Gospel in such a way that it relates to the lives of the worshipper. The style of worship is liturgical and spirited. A variety of forms, instruments and styles of music are used. Once a month, usually the 2nd Sunday, our 10:30 AM worship is led by a jazz rhythm section.
Ebenezer is blessed with a creative musician who knits together instrumentalists and voices in unique ways. You may join the choir (no previous experience or audition necessary) which meets every Thursday evening at 7:00 p.m., from September through May.
John Elmquist, Ebenezer's Music Director, and Ebenezer choir members are featured in a lovely student documentary about our worshipping community

Worship Leaders
LITURGY is "the work of the people." Worship on the weekend prepares us for our liturgy during the week in job, home, and all interactions with others. Good worship draws on the gifts of all the assembled people. Worship leaders help to equip the people to go out and do liturgy. Those interested in becoming worship leaders are invited to partake in a celebration of worship and liturgy.
