The premier musical ensemble of DUMC. In addition to singing during the Traditional Worship service on Sundays, the Chancel Choir hosts multiple performances each year, including a Christmas concert. New singers are always welcome and no audition is required.

A small, largely a cappella choral ensemble whose members come from the Chancel Choir. Basic music reading skills are needed, and private auditions are held as a prerequisite. Musica Gloria often sings in worship and at other events upon request.

This ensemble is for women who are available to rehearse during the weekday. Repertoire for this group is light and fun and includes both sacred and secular selections. They share the gift of music during worship, and as a form of outreach at local nursing homes and community centers.

An advanced group that performs regularly for worship services and concerts. Music reading is required for this ensemble. Performances vary.

A seasonal handbell ensemble that performs at the annual Holiday Festival and during Holy Week. Contact mark.lamback@dunwoodyumc.org for information about when this group will meet.

Open to preschoolers ages 3 (by Sept. 1) through 4 years old. Children are introduced to singing in their “singing voice”, playing rhythm instruments, and what it means to be a choir. The children learn that through music even the youngest of God’s children can participate in worship.

Open to elementary aged children, Kindergarten through 5th grade. Children build on their musical knowledge learned in Cherub Choir while also beginning to learn how to read music. Members begin singing in parts, expand their knowledge of musical notation, and begin preparing for leadership in worship services. Special events for the year include concerts, Christmas Eve services and community outreach.

This beginning choir uses tone chimes, which are similar to handbells, and is for third through fifth-graders. Music experience is helpful, but not required. Performances are at various services throughout the year.
