Music & Fine Arts
At Manchaca UMC, we believe the Arts are a language of Faith with in the Church, a language of outreach from the Church to the world, and a means of attracting others to the Faith. Our Music & Fine Arts Ministry consists of many different areas and opportunities for involvement including vocal, instrumental, drama, art, & more. We are blessed with many talented people, however, we are always seeking to develop and involve new people of all ages.
