MOUNT ZION UNITED METHODIST CHURCH CHOIR

We Welcome New Members!

Choir Practice - 6:00 p.m. Sunday evenings

The choir is a ministry whose purpose is to lead the congregation in worship by creating a musical environment which lifts hearts and minds to God so that we may be open to His voice. Full time choir members are needed and welcome. The only requirements are a desire to serve God and a willingness to share talents.

There are also opportunities for individuals who are unable to serve full time, but are willing to share their musical talents, vocal or instrumental, on an occasional basis - especially during the summer months. Contact the church office to get further information. 

Welcome New Choir Director Amy Evans! Amy Evans is not new to our choir, but now replaces Amber who recently moved. Amy resides in Easley and currently enjoys substituting for Pickens and Anderson County School Districts. She also hosts two days each week at Copper River Grill in Easley.
