Music Ministry

Ministry through music is a centerpiece of worship and fellowship at Johns Creek United Methodist Church. Our music offerings are stylistically diverse and reflect our commitment to sharing the love of God through music in song, worship, fellowship, and special events. It is our hope that everyone who participates in the Music Ministry program is challenged to grow in Christ and to experience God's unconditional love through the love of music. We have ensembles for every experience level. Whether you are a new musician or a professional, we have a place for you!
