MUSIC MINISTRY
At the center of the FUMC Music Ministry is worship. Whether you’re a professional musician or a passionate music enthusiast, you’ll find a welcoming place here. Our ensembles, whether they embrace traditional or contemporary styles, act as extensions of our families, nurturing faith and sharing talents in service to God. We offer a diverse array of opportunities for individuals of all abilities and interests. Our hope is that everyone who participates will deepen their connection with Christ and experience God’s unconditional love.
Please contact Marc Profant, Director of Worship Arts at Music@fumcgt.org for more information or to get involved in our Music Ministry!
Chancel Choir
The Chancel Choir sings at the 8:30 AM and/or 11:10 AM worship services in the Sanctuary from September through June. The Chancel Choir also presents larger works with instrumental accompaniment during the major occasions of the church season, including Advent, Christmas, Holy Week, and Easter. All musical levels are invited. Chancel Choir rehearsals are Wednesdays from 6:30 to 8:00 PM during the fall, winter, and spring.
If you have thought about joining the choir for the first time or are coming back to the choir after some time away, now is a great time and we would love to have you join us in choir this season!
Handbell Choir
FUMC Georgetown has an amazing and talented handbell ensemble. The ensemble plays during worship at 8:30 AM and 11:10 AM and during special times of the church season in the Sanctuary from September through June. Rehearsals are Wednesdays at 5:30 PM. This talented group of ringers is awesome and has some amazing music to rehearse and share with our congregation. We are always on the lookout for new ringers to join us!
Orchestra
The FUMC orchestra rehearses on Sundays at 12:15 PM in the choir room immediately following the 11:10 AM service. From tubas to violins to oboes, we have a wonderful group of musicians that come together to play for worship several times throughout the music season under the skillful direction of Mick Pierce.
Praise Band
Our contemporary praise band, The Stirring, leads the 10:45 AM Contemporary Worship Service in the McKinney Christian Ministry Center. If you enjoy singing along with contemporary music and feel at home in a contemporary service, this group is for you! The Stirring is supported by a group of volunteers who help run the Audio/Visual side of things.
If you are interested in getting involved within the contemporary service, please contact mandi@fumcgt.org.
