Music

Although attending many different schools the young adults have formed close bonds through The United Methodist Church and enjoy worshipping together in song.

"When you sing, you pray twice," reads a quote commonly attributed to St. Augustine. United Methodists have been a singing people since Charles Wesley wrote hymns that had the first Methodists singing what they believed. Today, we continue that tradition with hymns, praise songs and choruses led by organists, pianists and praise bands.
