MUSIC MINISTRY

At University, the art of music is vital to how we connect to God through worship. We have many different ways you can participate in music at University. Whether you love to sing or play an instrument, there is a place for you in the University Music Ministry.

We're a mix of students and adults starting 9th grade and above. We love to use the gifts God has given us to provide music for worship on scheduled Sunday mornings and at special seasonal services.

Handbells

We have three adult handbell choirs, and while each of the groups sets its own schedule, they ring generally from September through May. They rehearse once a week on the south side of campus in room W202. Ringers need to have some ability to read music and rhythm skills are especially important. Ringers are placed in groups according to their abilities and their schedule needs. Each group rings in Sunday worship a few times a year and also shares their music out in the community.
