Music MinistryThe Music Ministry of the Poland United Methodist Church offers the chance to let music be a part of your gift to God. Indeed, there is a place for all ages to share in the joys of serving God through music. Through Music Ministry, there are great opportunities for spiritual, personal and musical growth. Although we strive for musical excellence, the priority is for each individual to be nurtured as a Christian and as one who contributes to Christian ministry through participation in the musical leadership of Poland United Methodist Church
PUMC Music MinistryYour participation in the PUMC Music Ministry Program is greatly desired. We will accept your services on whatever level you are prepared to offer. We will help your talents grow. Join any of these programs by attending a rehearsal. Be a part of PUMC Music Ministry Program. Together we will be involved in great and meaningful experiences!
 

Chancel Choir

The Chancel Choir plays and integral part in our traditional worship each week. Along with the Senior Pastor, the Chancel Choir, through a thematically integration of Word and Music, draws all worshipers into the presence of God. The Chancel Choir rehearses on Thursday evenings from 7:30 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. and is open to everyone. They sing weekly, September through May, at the 11:00 traditional worship service.

 
Bell Choirs

Bell ChoirsOur adult and children's bell choirs have taken a break for now.  We will let you know as soon as they start up again.

 

Praise Band

Praise BandIf your tastes and talents lie in a less traditional vein, we have a contemporary praise band. Unlike most of our groups, these lead in worship year-round.

Joyful Noise leads worship in the 9:00 Praise and Worship Service. Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings at 7:00. The music is in the Praise Worship style popularized by such groups as the Maranatha Singers and The Vineyard, incorporating music as diverse as Bill Gaither to Carmen.

We are always looking for more instruments and/or singers to be a part of this exciting ministry. Contact Pam Gretsinger, our Praise Team Leader, for more information. Praise Band

 
 
Children's Choirs

Children's Choir

 

The Children's Choirs at PUMC are open to children age 3 years (by September 1) through 6th grade. Children's Choirs rehearse as part of our Kids' Klub program on Wednesdays. However, your child does not have to be registered in Kids' Klub to participate. It is our hope that as your child journeys through Children's Choir, he/she will attain the following goals:

          † Develop, through music, a greater understanding of the teachings of God;

          † Develop, through worship participation, a greater connection to the worship experience

          † Become a more confident musician; and

          † Have fun while accomplishing these goals.

Childrens Music MinistryPlease consider joining the Children's Music Ministry as we strive to build better, more confident worship participants for the future of our church. All children are encouraged to be a part of the choir that is appropriate for their age.

Cherub Choir is our choir for Preschool through Kindergarten ages.

Asbury Choir is for grades 1 through 3.
Christians Under Construction is for grades 4 through 6.

All children's choirs participate in the yearly Christmas Pageant.
