Welcome to the United Church of Sun City
Choir
Our chancel choir has approximately 10 to 20 singers, depending on the time of year, and our anthems vary from classical through contemporary in style.
We have a vibrant and talent-filled music program at United Church of Sun City
The mission of our program is to provide music that enhances the liturgy and enables our congregation to pray twice through the music. When our organist first came she told our minister of music that her job was to "take the congregation to the throne of God every week."
View recorded musical offerings on our Sermon Page.
Minister of Music Alan Paulson brings over 40 years of successful music director experience in Christian Churches, public schools, performance choirs and community colleges to our Church. Alan earned his Masters in Choral Music Conducting at ASU and continues expanding his trade by taking courses to maintain his certifications.
Special Music
The church regularly hosts special music performances for the congregation. They range from concerts at the ice cream socials, to the Palm Sunday and Christmas Cantatas, to a three-concert Chamber Music and continental breakfast concert series and more. We announce upcoming performances in the calendar and at the top of this page.
Happy October from your Music Ministry!
We are back to ‘full steam ahead’ mode with our returning Choir and Praise Team, rehearsing diligently to sing special new music for BROADWAY SUNDAY on October 19, when we will have already begun learning our beautiful Christmas Cantata to be performed with members of the Phoenix Symphony on Sunday, December 21st!
I want to extend a sincere THANK YOU to our Praise Team members and ‘stand-ins’ for giving so much time, talent, and dedication in preparing and singing for you throughout the long Arizona summer of June, July, August, and September: Kira Funk, Brenda Goodenberger, Andrea Dixon, and Boni Locke. Congratulations on a job well done!
Of course, we all also appreciate all of you congregation members who hung in there with us all summer! Your applause and kind words were greatly appreciated! We feel blessed! And how about that Sounds of the Southwest Singers concert?!? They certainly made a joyful noise and so did your cheers and applause! I saw MANY of you singing along...Congratulations, that was your audition to join our church choir!
Feeling blessed and grateful for our wonderful church family,
Alan Paulson, Minister of Music
