Long Memorial United Methodist Church is a place where God’s creative Spirit surrounds us with beauty. Each week we meet in our Chapel and our Main Sanctuary to celebrate the connection between God’s and our own creative spirit. Together we praise God, and learn, and grow through all of the worship arts.

Chancel Choir
The Chancel Choir has the responsibility for helping to lead the 11:00 a.m. worship service throughout the year. Each Sunday, dedicated choristers offer an anthem and support congregational hymn-singing. Music selection varies widely in style from classical to traditional to old-time gospel to contemporary praise. At least one major choral work is presented each year with organ, piano, and string quartet. The Chancel Choir rehearses on Wednesday evenings at 7:00-8:15 p.m. and on Sunday mornings at 10:35-11:00 a.m. in the Choir Room on the 2nd Floor. The choir takes off during summer. Childcare is provided as needed during Wednesday evening rehearsals. No audition is required and the ability to read music is helpful but not required. For more information, please contact Music Director Chuck Higgins.
Hand Bell Choir
Liturgical Dance
Long Memorial is blessed to have a dedicated group of middle-school through high-school age youth who interpret, through modern dance, the music presented by the Chancel Choir. Directed by Ashley Bailey, they are always an inspiring part of our Christmas and Easter services as well as other special services throughout the year. Rehearsals are scheduled occasionally as needed and costumes are provided. For more information, please contact Ashley Bailey.
