Music Ministry
The Music Ministry at the United Methodist Church of Vista offers music for Sunday Worship and also several Concerts and Special Events during the church year. We have opportunities for Choral Singers, Handbell Ringers, and Praise Band musicians. We will welcome anyone interested in those Ministries. There is an anonymous quote that says
 
“Music speaks when words fail”
 
We in the music ministry certainly understand that, and it is with joy that we offer our music to God and to each other. Please feel invited to be part of this vital worship experience.
