Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. (Psalm 100)
Worship Arts is a vital ministry at Mount Pisgah United Methodist Church.
Through music, liturgy, and art, congregants are supported and encouraged as they develop their talents and lead in worship.
Music is a significant tradition in the Methodist Church. In fact, numerous well-known hymns were composed by Charles Wesley, brother of John Wesley, the founder of Methodism. At Mount Pisgah, the Department of Music offers opportunities for all ages and levels to become a part of this long-standing tradition. Musicians are an integral part of worship services and they enjoy vibrant fellowship with one another. For more information on how to become involved with any of the groups listed below, contact Amberly Johnston, Director of Music and Worship Arts at amberly@mtpisgahgso.org
