ALL MUSICIANS WELCOME!
Congregational Church of Birmingham, UCC is blessed with a talented Director of Music, Dr. Joe Bentley and pianist, Dr. Yalan Piao. On Sunday mornings, they are often joined by our adult choir or small-ensemble singers and musicians from our church community who share their musical gifts with the congregation during worship.
We also have a lively group of young people…and frequently parents, too… who perform during worship whenever the spirit moves. Our chimers receive love and encouragement as they learn to appreciate music and join their enthusiastic chime-ringing in song.
Whether you are a vocalist or play an instrument, whether you are experienced or just learning, we invite you to raise a joyful noise at CCB.
​
Please contact our Director of Music, Dr. Joe Bentley, to find out how to get involved.
