Worship & Music Ministry at HCLC is led by talented musician Marsha Seale.  She directs the Gloria Dei Choir, Voices of Praise, Children’s Choir, Bells of Praise, Glory Ringers, and instrumentalists, as well as provides piano and organ music for all services.

There are opportunities for virtually all ages and skill levels to participate in music-making at Holy Comforter Lutheran Church.  We invite you to join us in music ministry, whether or not you have ever been in a choir before.  This is a real opportunity to grow deeper as a disciple of Jesus, and to be an evangelist, ministering the Word of God through music.
