“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.”

United Methodists have been known for their rich musical tradition since Charles Wesley wrote hymns that had the first Methodists singing what they believed. We’re fortunate to have many talented musicians within our community who enhance our worship experiences every Sunday morning through beautiful music of a variety of styles.
