Our Music & Worship

AUMC has long been a leader in the church music community in Orange County. With a beautiful pipe organ, a 9 foot concert grand, 7 foot grand, and a 6 foot grand readily available, not to mention excellent acoustics, the facilities are excellent for making music.

We aim to employ a variety of musical forms and expressions from both the past and the present. We incorporate the organ, piano, guitar, bells, and more to create a meaningful worship experience.

Chancel Choir

Only requirement: wonderful people that have a desire to sing as a team.

  • You don’t have to read music!

  • You don’t have to sing a solo!

  • You don’t have to come to every rehearsal or service, and our schedule is flexible!

Modern Service

Our Modern service (Messy Church) meets on the 2nd Sunday at 5 PM. Led by the Modern Worship team, they bring modern music to each service. Volunteer musicians are always welcome, whether you play an instrument or sing.
