Music 
CUMC Music Ministry 

"Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come into his presence with singing."

                                                                            -
Psalms 110:1-2

 

Together with the psalmist, Music Ministry at Christ Church celebrates and worships God with voices and instruments, involving over 250 participants in the music groups.

Jennifer Randolph is director of the Christ Church Music Ministry. She comes to us with a wide range of music experience and abilities including choral direction, musical theater direction and performance, and a music education background.

The music ministry is congregation-oriented. At times, throughout the year, the congregation selects hymns during the service. A continuous list of hymn requests is placed into the offering plates as well. The music staff believes that our ministry is FOR, not TO, the congregation. A variety of vocal and handbell choirs are available for those who wish to participate. Experience and formal training are not required, only the desire to praise God through music.

Please consider joining one of our music programs:
