We have
a strong music program at Portage United Church of Christ, and we
invite you to be a part of it! Our goals are to provide music
in the worship service as a meaningful experience for members of the
congregation and members of the musical ensembles. We have
opportunities for all who wish to share their musical talents in
worship. If you would like more information on the music
program, please contact Cindy Hunter, Director of Music
Ministry, at 327-3114 or by e-mail at
cindyhunter@portageucc.org.
