Music Ministry
Lovely Lane provides many opportunities for expression through music and the creative arts. Through the Adult Choir, Handbell Choirs and Children's Choirs, plus the Open Door Worship Band and Singers, members and friends of the church enjoy participating in or being inspired by the music at Lovely Lane. Vocalists and instrumentalists, both soloists and small groups - including church members and guest musicians - share their gifts during worship services and other events throughout the year. All ensembles are a part of special musical presentations that take place during Advent and Lent.

Along with our fine organ, the church is also fortunate to have a concert grand piano. A Clavinova keyboard is used by the Open Door Worship Band, in addition to drums, auxiliary percussion, guitars and more. You might also occasionally hear a melodica, accordion, or some vocal chant during one of our worship services! Come and explore the expressions of love, meditation and motivation made possible through one of God's greatest gifts - music!
