Providence UMC: Music

In the Creative Arts ministry at Providence United Methodist Church we strive to offer opportunities for participants to express themselves creatively as an offering of worship to the one who was the most creative of all—our Creator God. He is our audience of one!

We offer choirs and ensembles for all ages, ability levels, and schedules. Please come and join us!
