Music Ministries

Join the SUMC music ministries with singing or ringing. Our musical ensembles perform regularly in accoustically superior sanctuary, and we have groups for almost anyone. See what we have to offer you.

Directors:

  • Vocal choirs: Dr. Linda Monson
  • Bell choirs: Mindi Riffer
Children: Vocal and Bell Choirs

The children's choirs enrich children from ages 4 through 6th grade with opportunities to have fun while learning music and performing for others. Whether it is putting on a musical with costumes or smacking boomwhackers on the floor, your children will enjoy SUMC's music programs.
