Music is an important part of worship at FUMC Plano. Through choirs and instrumental groups, musicians of all ages help lead the congregation in praise and create meaningful worship experiences each week.

Our Music Ministry welcomes everyone, from experienced musicians to those joining a choir or ensemble for the first time. If you enjoy singing or playing an instrument, there is a place for you here.
