MUSIC MINISTRIES
Worship Arts Ministry of First United Methodist Church
We believe everyone should have the opportunity to worship God in a setting that best enables them to express their feelings toward their creator. This is why we provide such a variety of Worship Arts opportunities. Each of us has gifts and talents we have been blessed with, and we want to give everyone the chance to use those gifts and talents in worship. We have a variety of different singing and instrumental groups for every age and preference in music. We also have opportunities for those who express themselves in dance, art, computer multimedia, and drama. And for those who are more technically inclined we are always in need sound and projection techs. This is by no means all we can do. Wherever your talents may lie, we encourage you to develop them and use them to God’s Glory.
