Meet Catherine

Hi! I’m Catherine Wilson and I am the Director of Music and Worship here at DFUMC! I believe that music is essential to our lives— it helps us connect to God, each other, and even ourselves. Please contact me with any questions about the music ministry- we’d love to have you join us!
