+ To lead music in our worship services
+ To teach an understanding of worship
+ To teach the children the basic elements of music
+ To teach the word of God through music using hymns
and songs of our faith
+ To fellowship one with another

Moody Methodist Handbell Choirs
Our handbell choirs offer the opportunity for individuals to worship God through music by the playing of handbells. Throughout the year our handbell choirs provide music for selected worship services, participate in special worship services and present music for various organizations throughout the Galveston community. No audition is necessary; just a commitment to attend all rehearsals and participate in all performance opportunities. We have two handbell choirs at Moody:
Moody Bell Ringers

Handbell Choir Room, Rm 107

Chancel Choir
The Chancel Choir rehearses each Wednesday evening in the Choir Room Suite from 7-8:30pm. The Choir leads the music at the 11:00 AM Traditional worship service each Sunday morning. The Choir welcomes all individuals who love to sing and are committed to attend rehearsals and Sunday morning worship.
Each rehearsal is focused on learning various styles of music, developing the singing voice, and teaching all elements of choral singing. Child care is provided during rehearsals.
Throughout the year the Chancel Choir presents at least two major works with instrumental accompaniment: generally during Advent and Lent/Easter. Individuals are able to share their talent at the annual Dinner Theater which raises funds for the choir’s mission work at the Salvation Army.
