Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves,
singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts.
Ephesians 5:19 NRSV

The music ministry at Chatham UMC is a welcoming, inclusive gathering of musicians singing, ringing, and playing in generous kindness as an example of love. Every group welcomes musicians of great experience to those who wish to understand music anew; we work toward musical excellence in all ways through humor, dedication, and willingness to learn.

Our music staff includes our Choral Scholars, who lead the Covenant Choir in four-part harmony, Mike Maguire, organist and accompanist, and Peter Hill, Director of Music Ministry.

Our music program includes taking requests from you, our friends and congregation: to participate or find out more about this program, please contact: Peter Hill.
