Music Ministry

Music Ministry

It is our desire to glorify God through music in all gatherings and programs.

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing!”
Psalm 100:1-2

The Music Ministry at Broadway United Methodist Church is dedicated to enabling everyone to experience the presence and power of God Our Father through congregational singing, choral singing in the Chancel Choir, small choral ensembles, instrumental music, Handbells, and in our Children’s music programs.

We strive to embody the gospel of Jesus Christ and his mission by reaching out to each other, the community, and the world; nurturing one another in the life of the church as we proclaim the gospel through music. We celebrate our Music Programs each fall, usually the last part of September or first of October, with Music Dedication Sunday, where we dedicated ourselves, our music, and all of our music programs to the Glory of God. All of our music programs are involved in participating in this Worship Service.

When In Our Music God Is Glorified, and adoration leaves no room for pride, It is as though the whole creation cried: Alleluia

Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise! And may God give us faith to sing always: Alleluia

Chancel Choir

please contact Natalie Krupansky for information

The Chancel Choir is a non-auditioned group of dedicated singers who meet on Wednesday evenings. The choir currently has over 40 registered members, which is made up of singers from all walks of life and professions.  The choir is open to singers from 9th grade though adult.  The Chancel Choir is a supportive fellowship with numerous opportunities to deepening friendships and caring for one other. In addition to leading in Worship each Sunday morning for our 10:30 Traditional Worship Service, and is comprised of people of all musical abilities from professional musicians to those that have done very little to no singing. The choir presents numerous special programs though-out the church year, usually with a small chamber orchestra and organ or brass choir, percussion and organ.

The Chancel Choir continues the rich heritage of “excellence” in its singing and in the outstanding literature it sings. It continues to be an important part of each worship service.  The chancel choir sings with our magnificent organ each week and on special occasions with a variety of different instrumentals.

If interested in visiting or joining the Choir, please email Natalie Krupansky or call 270-443-2401.

Children’s Music Programs

Broadway shares the joy of God’s gift of music with our children in our children’s choir programs.  Whether singing in our 10:30 worship service or for our Wednesday Evening gatherings, our children are directed by professionals who provide a musical education coupled with Christian teachings.

Handbell Choir

Meeting Time- Thursday nights at 6:00 p.m.

Director, Natalie Krupansky

The Fellowship Ringers is open to anyone interested in playing handbells.  It is very helpful to know how to read basic music and basic rhythms, but not a requirement.  The Bell choir plays for Worship though-out the year and for special occasions in the life of our church.  It is a very diverse group of ringers, from the very experienced ringer to beginner.  We have a five octave set of Schulmerich Bells and Choir Chimes.  If interested in joining or visiting the fellowship ringers, please contact Natalie Krupansky or a current member.
