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.
