Music Ministry of Dunwoody UMC

The Music Ministry of Dunwoody UMC Chancel Choir serves to glorify God and enhance the worship of our church through excellent and joyful choral and instrumental music. We strive to grow as individuals and ensembles by developing high standards of musicianship, and to honor our rich artistic heritage while continuing to explore new musical ideas. We hope that through blending our many gifts we can help ourselves, each other, and our entire community encounter God in a new and meaningful way.

Below you can find details about how you can become involved in this exciting ministry. We have opportunities for everyone from age 3 to 93 and beyond, in both traditional and modern styles. Please contact Mark Lamback if you have any questions or would like more information.
