Focus on the Music Ministry

The Ocean View's music program includes several Choirs as well as a contemporary Praise Band. These music ministries are under the leadership of Greg Walker, our Director of Music. Greg is a very talented and highly skilled pianist who has graced Ocean View Church for more than seventeen years with his talent, dedication, and wit!

Adult Chancel Choir
We have a very active and great-sounding Adult Chancel Choir. They sing at the 11:00 worship service on Sunday mornings and do several concerts throughout the year. This includes their huge Christmas production which is the highest attended event of the year. Anyone interested in joining and has experience singing 4-part choral music is welcome. Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings at 7:00pm. Click here to view a video of the OVUMC Choir.

Celebration Singers
This group sings at the 8:15 service on Sunday mornings. Music consists of Unison and 2-part singing. All are welcome to join. Rehearsals are on Thursday afternoons at 2:00pm.

"Rock of Faith" - Praise Band
Ocean View has a contemporary Praise Band called "Rock of Faith" which plays at the 9:30 am service on Sundays as well as other special events. If you play an instrument, contact Greg to express your interest in the music ministries. Although the band isn’t looking for anyone now, we will try our best to utilize your talents somewhere.

OVUMC A/V Team
This is an area we definitely have chances for you to serve! This is the group that takes care of all the Audio, Visual and Lighting needs for all of the events in the main sanctuary. Extensive skill is not necessary, but an understanding of how to operate stereo equipment is a must. The projection portion of this team consists of setting up announcement loops and lyric projection for services on a PC. If you are interested, PLEASE contact Greg.

DVD/Video Ministry
DVDs of our Sunday morning services are supplied to all of our shut-ins on a weekly basis. We are in need of someone to operate the camera controller (it’s very easy) at the 9:30 and 11:00 services.

The OVUMC Ding-A-Lings
