MUSIC
Chapel Hill United Methodist Church is blessed with musical talent. Extraordinary singers led by nationally acclaimed director, Dr. Randi Von Ellefson, instrumentalists that charm us with orchestration, bells that chime with precision are all regularly featured in our worship services. Dr. Ellefson is also Professor of Music and Director of Choral Activities at Oklahoma City University. Many city residents know him as the director of Canterbury Voices. Our organist and director of our handbells is Ellen Jackson. Musicians of all ages and types have been drawn to this church since its beginning. Come and hear us sing!
