Our church enjoys the tradition of the handbell choir.

Following liturgical guidelines, each week our organ and choral music serve to amplify the scriptures and bring inspiration to worshippers. State of the Art Audio Visual equipment is used to enhance the overall experience for our weekly early services, all practices, and most special services. Annual large-scale projects include Advent Cantata with full orchestra, Children's Musical, and concerts offered for area nursing homes, just to name a few.
In addition, we enjoy offering special music for our traditional Christmas Eve & Holy Week Services.
The music of the church is very important to the life of a church family and the music at Southern Pines United Methodist Church is both uplifting and inspirational. The ensembles of Southern Pines United Methodist Church are always seeking and recruiting new members.
