The Music Ministry at FMC Vernon includes ensembles designed to involve as many people as possible in the life of the church through music. Our musical family is open to persons of any age and ability, from beginning or amateur through accomplished performer. Because our congregation is diverse, we encourage the use of a broad range of styles of worship music. The one thing that binds us all together is our calling to return to God’s service the talents God has given to us.
