Worship Arts
Celebrating God ~ Serving One Another
Our mission is to provide the opportunity for individuals to serve as ministers of God’s grace through music, drama, and dance.
ADULT CHOIRS
We have two adult choirs, the Chancel Choir and the Chapel Choir. Under the direction of Cheryl Hildebrandt, music is prepared to draw the congregation and the singers closer to God. We do this with a variety of music and with joy in our hearts. There are many times that the choirs join together for special worship services, ie: Easter, Christmas, and this year (2012) to lead worship at the Oklahoma United Methodist Annual Conference.
If you want to be a part of leading people to Christ through music then this is the place for you! Not only are the choirs a great place to sing praises but they are a great “family” to be a part of. ALL are welcome and encouraged to join us! For more information, contact Cheryl Hildebrandt @ 918-258-1505 or cheryl.hildebrandt@fumcba.org.
