Music & Arts Ministry

The Music & Arts Ministry at Trinity United Methodist Church is a community where everyone belongs. Through music, visual art, and other creative expression, we bear witness to God’s love, nurture deeper connection with the Spirit, and invite all people to encounter beauty, faith, and life more fully.

Our prayer is simple, God. That through the work we do and who we are, all we meet would find out what's inside, find you, feel loved and know that they matter.
—Kathy Dunnewald

The Trinity Music & Arts Ministry season 2025-26 is Creative Witness: Love in Action. This year, our Music & Arts Ministry, where everybody belongs, embraces the call to be a creative witness—proclaiming God’s love not only with our voices, instruments, and artistic gifts, but also through acts of service that reach beyond the sanctuary. We believe that love is not only spoken or sung but lived out in tangible ways. Through music, visual art, and hands-on service to our neighbors, we seek to make God’s love audible, visible, and tangible in the world. Together, we offer our creativity as a testimony of faith and as love in action—so that beauty, compassion, and hope may resonate far beyond our church walls. 

Join Us

The Music & Arts Ministry is looking for artists (musical, visual, literary, theatrical, etc.) of varying levels to express themselves and find a deeper connection with life through the arts. To create the appropriate opportunities for our community members, we need to know you are out there! If you are interested in or even just casually considering tapping into your artistic side, please contact Jerome Síbulo. 

CHANCEL CHOIR
The Chancel Choir at Trinity serves as an integral part of the 11:00am worship service every Sunday morning, and we invite you to come join in the fun! No audition is required to sing—everyone is welcome to attend and contribute to the music-making. Whether you are a true beginner or a seasoned pro, there is a spot in the choir for you!

Rehearsals occur every Wednesday from 7:00pm-8:30pm (validated parking available in the parking garage and childcare is available through Children's Ministry). On Sunday mornings, we meet at 10:00am in the choir room in preparation for singing in the 11:00am service. Contact: Taylor Gonzales

TRINITY RINGERS

Whenever bells are playing at Trinity, you can really feel the sound ringing through every corner of the sanctuary! The Bell Ensemble is back this year, and it is open to youth (6th to 12th grade) and adults. No experience necessary, so please reach out if you are even the least bit curious. Rehearsals are 8:45am-9:45am on 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month. Contact: Dian Petersen

FLUTE CHOIR

Do you play the flute? Our Flute Ensemble is looking to recruit more members. The ensemble plays for worship and concerts, and rehearsals are scheduled around performance demands. Contact: Leslie Ford

CHILDREN'S MINISTRY

The arts are a regular part of Sunday School at our Children's Ministry. Music is held during the 11:00am Sunday School hour for children ages 4 - 5th grade.
