Music & Fine Arts

The Music and Fine Arts Ministry at Christ United Methodist is a fellowship of Christians of all ages, who express their faith through music and other arts. This program provides an opportunity for children, and adults alike, to respond to their faith through their involvement and common interest in providing music and art.
  • Adult Music & Fine Arts Ministries - Participation is open to all who enjoy singing for the Glory of God. No audition required, just a singing spirit.
  • Children's Music & Fine Arts - Inspire Christian experiences through music and fellowship to children (ages 4 years through 5th grade) so that they can feel and express God’s love. They sing in worship services periodically and present a musical in the spring on Children’s Day and at Christmas time
