music

The gift of music is heard throughout our worship services and ministries.  There are plenty of opportunities at the church to express your musical talents, whether you're a singer or play an instrument or want to learn to do either of the above!  We have everything from a traditional sanctuary choir to a praise team that sings contemporary Christian music.  We even have two choirs for children to join in on the fun! 


Director of Worship Arts Jody Warren is always looking for those who feel called to praise God through their music, at whatever level they find themselves. For more information about any of the programs listed below, email Jody at jwarren@christumc.cc.
