A church and elementary school on the grounds of Concordia University, it is particularly notable for its monthly Bach Cantata Vespers, in which the church choir, orchestra and organist perform the sacred cantatas of the German baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach for Sunday evening prayers. The sacred works of other classical composers are also often performed alongside the Bach cantatas.
