MUSIC MINISTRY AT NCUMC

Whether it be through prayer, singing, or communion, worship can take many different forms. Here at Newport Center UMC, music plays a vital role in our worship experience. We strive to connect with Jesus as we perform, appreciate, and share in the music during every service.

WHO CAN JOIN THE MUSIC MINISTRY TEAM?

Our many music ministries are open to all, and allow for us to connect with each other as we work together to prepare inspirational music to be shared in worship. Our special services on Easter, Christmas, and our annual Cantatas and Classical Recitals help us reach out and connect with the larger community who often join us on these events. Giving church members opportunities to develop and use their musical gifts and talents as they grow spiritually is a special goal of the music ministry at Newport Center UMC.
