Best Answer

Coming from a family of church musicians and serving as one almost all his life, everywhere he lived: Eisenach, Ohrdruf, Lüneburg, Arnstadt, Mühlhausen, Weimar, Köthen, and Leipzig, as well as every place he visited on sundays, for example on the occasion of inaugurating a new organ. Bach was a Lutheran.

You bet! He was the organist in a large church in Leipzig for many years. He usually composed a new cantata every week and had it performed during the services.
