MUSIC MINISTRY

We invite you to explore and share your faith through the arts.

I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being. Psalm 104:33

Welcome to the Music Ministry!

There is a place for you in our Music Ministry! We offer Chancel Choir and handbells for adults, Youth Choir for students in grades 6th-12th, and Children's Choir for children in grades K-5. We meet regularly for rehearsals and participate in weekly services as well as special events here at the church and in our region. We’d love to have you join us!

Contact Beth DuRoy at bethduroy@hixsonumc.org for more information.

All Are Welcome

Whether you’re an experienced musician or a beginner, there are a number of different options for every age group.

Grow in Faith

In each music ministry group, we seek to lead people into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.

River Worship

The River Worship Team seeks to serve God by using their musical gifts to lead others into authentic and meaningful worship. This group serves on a rotating schedule. Each week God molds together the unique contributions of every member to create a community that is growing in Christ together.

Youth Choir - Grades 6-12

Youth Choir rehearses during the school year on Sundays from 4:00-5:00. Youth Choir sings regularly in worship services, collaborates with other youth choirs, participates in Youth Choir festivals and a summer tour! This past May our Youth Choir went on a North Carolina tour which included singing at the Biltmore House in Asheville.

Children's Choirs -

Grades 3-5

Children's Choirs meet during the school year on Sunday evenings as part of our Children's Ministry time. In choir children learn what it is to praise God with their bodies and voices. Directors teach the fundamentals of healthy singing, rhythm and pitch using solfege and takadimi, games, and instruments. Children lead in worship and the Christmas concert in the fall semester, and perform a fully-staged musical in the spring semester.
