What a joy and privilege awaits those who participate in the choral ministry at Zion Lutheran Church. The church choir meets regularly during the year, Wednesday evenings at 8:00 pm. During Advent and Lent, the choir rehearses Wednesday evenings immediately following the Advent and Lenten mid-week services.

The primary mission of the Zion choir is to spread the truth of the Gospel by means of the lyrics and tunes of Christian poets and musicians. The choir is in the truest sense both an "inreach" and an "outreach" ministry of the church. The music selections encompass the testimony of Jesus Christ to our membership. Our choir presents music that is designed to share the "good news" of Jesus Christ to any that may be listening.

The choir presents a wide variety of styles of music. The "message" of the music is what is important and not the style. The choir in recent years has prepared and presented classical, contemporary, traditional and Southern gospel music. Special musicals are prepared for Christmas and Easter.

The Zion choir is a volunteer organization, open to those who wish to use the musical gifts God has provided. There are no preset requirements of musical ability. Rehearsals are designed to challenge members who have various ranges of ability. As a matter of church tradition, the choir is typically comprised of members who have graduated from high school, but high school students are welcome to join as well.

God wants "worshippers" who will worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 14:23). True corporate worship is enhanced by the great hymns of faith, along with Gospel songs and praise.

In the Anchorage church community a growing acceptance for "blended worship" has occurred in recent years. The choral ministry of Zion Lutheran Church recognizes that the church today needs to reach out in a variety of ways. Music styles can exercise variety without compromising the Word of God. This variety allows more people to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
