Music Ministry
Music Ministry
At FUMCCV, music is more than notes and melodies; it's a bridge to the soul, a language that transcends boundaries. Through our Music Ministry, we invite you to join us on a unique journey—a journey where engaging music meets profound spirituality, where all ages and backgrounds harmonize, and where the essence of God is felt in every chord and lyric.
Children’s Choir (K-3rd)
Our Children’s Choir, designed for K-3rd graders, is a vibrant space where young voices find their wings. Using the interactive Prodigies curriculum (www.prodigies.com), we blend learning and play, focusing on pitch training and instrument exploration. Through songs, movement, and creativity, children develop not just musical skills, but also a deep love for the art. They sing in worship every four weeks and at special events.
Beginning on August 2, 2023
