Music Ministry

Blacksburg United Methodist Church (BUMC) Music Ministry invites you to participate!

The Ministry of Music at BUMC invites all who have the gift of music to share generously and joyfully in worship through the many music and worship arts groups at BUMC. In this section you will find information about all of the groups that we offer. There is something for all ages and gifts! This year, along with our long-standing, long-term choirs, we are offering several short-term opportunities so that more people can participate in music for shorter periods of time. We hope that one of these new groups will fit your schedule and your gifts. Our team of leaders is looking forward to hearing from you!

Rev. Leigh Anne Taylor
