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 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
(Elementary Age & Reading)
Our Children’s Choir, designed for elementary-aged reading children, is a vibrant space where young voices find their wings. Through songs, movement, and creativity, children develop not just musical skills, but also a deep love for the art. They sing in worship once every month and at special events.

Seasonal Choirs
-
Twice a year, during Christmas and Easter, we invite our wider community to come together through music. Seasonal Choirs are open to everyone. Church members and non-members, people of faith and those simply curious, teens through adults. No prior choir experience is required.
If you enjoy music and are willing to give it your all, you belong here.
Each season is a short-term commitment focused on learning choral technique, harmony, and the joy of singing together. Participation is free, and seasonal singers are warmly invited to continue with our regular choir if they choose.
