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!
Children's Music
The children's choirs of Decatur First participate seasonally in Sunday morning worship and the annual Christmas concert. The youngest choirs focus on music and movement as well as exploring their voices, while the older children learn how to sing together in a choir setting and basic music literacy through fun interactions with our wonderful leaders.
