Music Ministries

Music, that God-given gift, finds its richest expression in worship. The Christian faith sings because it has the most beautiful and substantive message entrusted by God to people, namely, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Consider using your God-given gift of music through the ministry of music at Lake Washington UMC. There are many opportunities to serve in the music ministry. Know that you are welcome to participate!

The Ministry of Music has enjoyed a long, outstanding tradition and reputation. The tradition that was established many years ago continues today. There are many opportunities to present the great choral/orchestral works from throughout history utilizing orchestras and soloists from the church’s music ministry. As new forms of worship have evolved, Lake Washington UMC has expanded its music ministry of excellence to worship in the 21st Century as well. Opportunities for vocal and instrumental solo and ensemble expression abound at Lake Washington UMC. 

The various choirs and instrumental ensembles, in addition to developing musical skills, participate in Sunday worship services at various times throughout the year.
