MUSIC MINISTRY
OUR MISSION
To proclaim the word of God through music. The music ministry is not an object to be admired so much as an instrument to teach, comfort, inspire, motivate and lift up the spoken word of God.
In addition to our Sunday morning services, our music ministry, directed by Chris Moore, organizes events throughout the year, bringing in a variety of musical talent from near and far.
“Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Chancel Choir
The United Church of Marco Island chancel choir, directed by Chris Moore, provides beautiful anthems and hymns during Sunday worship. Opportunities exist for solo and ensemble singing throughout the year. All skill levels are welcome and auditions are not required.
Handbell Choir
The sound of bells and chimes ringing in our sanctuary is a blessing and joy to all. Handbell rehearsal is weekly during season when pieces are prepared for holidays, special events and at least one worship service per month.
