Traditional Worship

11:00 a.m.

Our traditional worship features traditional hymns, liturgy, corporate prayers, choral music, children's chimes, and handbells. The music in this service features the organ and piano with special soloists and instrumentalists. Pastors wear traditional clergy robes and stoles. Congregation members feel free to dress as they wish, whether that be dresses and suits or more casual attire. 

Denver UMC Chancel Choir is a warm, welcoming place where music is an integral part of  traditional worship. There is a deep sense of community within our choir. Everyone in high school through adults are welcome to join the choir as we prepare worship music for the 11:00 a.m. Sunday services each week. 

Rehearsals are on Wednesdays 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.


 We perform major works for Christmas, Maundy Thursday and Easter. We have soloists, ensembles and instrumentalists within the church as well. The Chancel Choir does a variety of styles with a lean toward more traditional worship. We are accompanied by various instruments: Organ, piano, solo instruments, handbells and occasionally a chamber orchestra. 


We’d LOVE to have you join us!! We love God and we love singing for Him!! 

Come share your talent as we praise the Lord in song.”

Our Handbell Choir consists of 9 - 12 adults. We ring in worship in the fall and spring semesters and take summers off. This is such a great group of dedicated adults that seem to laugh a LOT because it’s fun praising God all while getting to play these beautiful instruments. 


If you’d like to give us a try or have other questions contact our Choir Director, LeAnn Callahan at choir@denverumc.org

Contemporary Worship

9:00 a.m.

Our contemporary worship service is where we come together to praise God with contemporary/modern music. The atmosphere is relaxed, but we gather in the name of Christ with worship and praise. Feel free to bring your cup of coffee with you! During the summer this service meets at the Arbor for an outdoor, campground style service.

Meet Erin: Erin Shull comes to us from Newton, North Carolina. She is a lover of the show "Friends," and is often found with a guitar in her hand. Her family has long standing traditions in the music circles of this area, something that has lived on through Erin. She has 2 associate degrees in music and graphic design, and her true passion is singing for the Lord.
