MUSIC MINISTRY

The Music Ministry at Carrollton First Methodist Church is a thriving and active ministry in the life of our church. Opportunities include choral ensembles for all ages and skill levels. There are varied commitment levels, too. Some groups sing weekly, while others may only sing for worship once per month.
