The Lincoln Lutheran Music Program is a successful, growing part of the community here at Lincoln Lutheran. Many students are involved with choir, band or strings. These musical groups are a very visible part of this school performing at sporting events, concerts and local churches. These are wonderful ways to witness to God and carry his Word to our community. Our students have developed a reputation as great young Christians who achieve excellence in music.

Many students audition and are accepted to many different honor groups including the NCC Honor Band, All State, Wesleyan, Winter Winds and many other groups. The individual achievements of our students are a wonderful example of the many gifts we have received through God here at Lincoln Lutheran.

The Music Department at Lincoln Lutheran exists to create music to the glory of God and to help prepare our students for a lifetime of service to the Lord. We believe that music is an integral part of a complete education for any student, and we strive to educate all students about the many and various aspects of this art form. God has given each of us different talents and abilities, and it is our goal to help students discover and develop those talents, both musical and non-musical, that they may use them to the fullest extent for God’s glory.
