Music

The Tommy Shead Memorial Handbell Choir consists of fourteen ringers who use six octaves of handbells and five octaves of handchimes. The choir rings in worship on the 2nd Sunday of every month and for various community events and retirement centers. Rehearsals are every Monday from 7:30–9:00 PM. Reading music is a plus, but is not required. Persons with prior experience in other handbell choirs often find a role as a substitute for ringers who must miss a rehearsal or performance. This is a unique music ministry that requires dedication and a love of music.

The Bell Ensemble has eleven ringers who use three octaves of bells and handchimes. The ensemble rings on the 2nd Sunday of every month. Rehearsals are every Monday from 6:30–7:30 PM. Reading music is a plus, but is not required. A commitment to be at rehearsal each week and on the Sundays the ensemble performs is required. Members of the ensemble often substitute for members in the full choir and vice versa. 

Anemos is a woodwind quintet that plays at Doylestown United Methodist Church services several times each year.

The Men’s Choir is looking for more men from any of the worship services to join. The time commitment is minimal and the fellowship promises to be exceptional!

Power of Grace is the praise band/worship team for the 11:11 Word & Worship Service. They usually practice on Thursday evenings in the Worship & Youth Center.

The Sanctuary Choir includes vocalists, college age and beyond. Practices are held on Thursday nights from 7:30 – 9:00 pm, September through May.

This group seeks to include brass instrumentalists from 7th grade and beyond. Practices are held on Sundays at 12:00 PM from August through April. 

This adult praise/worship team meets Tuesdays from 7:00–9:00 PM to practice for each week's 9:00 AM Uplifting Worship Service. We welcome new musical talent to our group, so please reach out to Kristian Frikke-Schmidt if you are interested in joining us!

As the need dictates, professional musicians are hired to support our worship efforts. This might include support musicians, a string quartet, a harpist, or a timpanist. External music sources are supported by the Music Patrons’ Fund.

In addition to choirs for ages three and up, we are always looking for instrumentalists and volunteers to help with our musical productions, props, and more. Please contact Stephanie if you are interested.
