CHILDREN

When in our music God is glorified and adoration leaves no room for pride, It is as though the whole creation cried: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Let every instrument be tuned for praise; Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise; And may God give us faith to sing always: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia – Fred Pratt Green (1903-2000)

Dunwoody UMC is known for its vibrant music ministry that reaches across all ages and serves to enhance all of our worship services. From handbells to choirs, there are many opportunities to serve DUMC with your musical talent. Some groups require previous musical experience, while others are open to all and do not require auditions.
