Traditional Music Ministry

Adult Chancel Choir

The Chancel Choir is a non-auditioned ensemble, comprised of people of all ages and musical abilities. Along with providing musical leadership to the 8:30 am and 11:00am traditional services, the Chancel Choir presents major works with an orchestra during the Christmas and Easter seasons and other special events.

Adult Handbell Ensemble

The Adult Handbell Ensemble is open to adults and university students, and it equips the beginner and the intermediate ringer for a lifetime of bell ringing. Space is available for new members; the group will ring periodically in worship services during the academic year.

Children's Music Opportunities

Our church offers a vibrant array of music programs for children, providing them with multiple opportunities to explore and develop their musical talents. Every Sunday evening, during Children’s Fellowship, kids can participate in choir and chimes. Additionally, they can shine in our annual summer musical and take part in special performances during seasonal worship services.

PERAGALLO ORGAN: OPUS 751

Texas A&M University's ambitious vision for growth reflects the broader aspirations of Texas, and this spirit of innovation is mirrored in the recent transformation of the organ at A&M United Methodist Church. As the church's music program expanded, the existing organ could no longer meet its demands. John and Frank Peragallo were brought in to analyze the organ and the church’s acoustics, leading to a comprehensive proposal that addressed both musical and environmental needs.

An organ committee visited the Peragallo factory in New Jersey to explore how proposed design elements could enhance the church's music ministry. Led by Rev. Preston Greenwaldt, the project saw collaboration among church members, design professionals, and engineers. The result was a visually stunning organ that now serves as a sanctuary centerpiece.

The church’s acoustics were also upgraded, with a new sanctuary floor and improved ceiling materials. Facilities manager, Will McCollum and his sons, played a key role in the on-site construction, while the then organist, Jungjin Kim, learned about the instrument's care.

The new organ features an expanded tonal palette, including Romantic stops and powerful solo voices, all housed in custom-designed casework that enhances the church's architectural beauty.
