Our Music Ministry

Celebratory Worship through Arts

Music is an important component of every worship experience at Belmont UMC.

We have a dedicated group of staff and volunteers who are committed to leading the congregation in worship and praise.

As a multicultural congregation, the Ministry of Music plays an integral role in enhancing the worship experience with inclusivity that speaks to the plethora of age, social and ethnic backgrounds within Belmont.

The Ministry of Music ranges from age 3 to the Young at Heart. Everyone is invited to participate. Presently, the ministry comprises of the Chancel Choir, the Children & Youth Singers, and the Belmont Praise Dancers.

The Chancel Choir:

Under the direction of Michael K. Ross, the choir serves every Sunday during the 10:00 AM worship experience. Averaging 8 members, the Chancel Choir delivers blesses the congregation with music from a vast array of genres. They include, but are not limited to, anthems, African American spirituals as well as traditional and contemporary gospel.



The Chancel Choir presents annual Easter and Christmas cantatas. A great deal of time is placed in preparing for these well received events that usually include narration by members of the congregation. The Children & Young Singers, and the Belmont Praise Dancers participate as well.

Rehearsals are held every Sunday morning at 9:00 AM. All are welcome. No audition is required.

Our Latino Music Ministry

 Our Latino service offers vibrant music led by Estrella Serrano at their 11:30 AM service. She is often accompanied by drummer Angel Serrano, keyboard Julio Serrano, and singer Ester Serrano.

The Children & Youth Singers:

The ensemble ranges from elementary to high school students. It is directed by Robin Dodson and assisted by Marie Coone. Kids have a way of bringing excitement and joy. Certainly, this holds true here at Belmont UMC. The Children & Youth Singers serve on every 4th Sunday during the 10:00 AM worship experience.

We can count on them to sing jubilant songs while adorned in colorful attire that adds energy to worship.

Tammy Harris and Debbie Corker work closely with Robin and Marie in coordinating transportation and activities.
