Mission
Statement
The Irvington United Methodist Church seeks to glorify God and enhance the
celebration of worship by preparing us to receive the message, uplifting our spirits and
strengthening us for daily life. Active involvement in the ministry of music provides
participants with the opportunity to serve the church with their talents, develop skills
and achieve higher levels of spiritual awareness.
In addition to presenting quality work to the church and community on a
regular basis, the IUMC Music Ministry reaches out to others through a number of various
ensembles that provide music and entertainment for special events. |

Irvington
Artists Concert Series
Upcoming Concerts
Throughout the centuries, churches have been a center for music and arts. The greatest
thoughts and expressions of humankind have been communicated through this medium. We hope
that you will be able to attend one or all of the concert series and join us as we reflect
on the very nature of God, the presence of the Divine Being within all life and share the
gifts and talents God has given us.
Would you like to be a supporting friend to the Irvington Artist Concerts Series? For
as little as $25 you can become a patron of the arts. There is an annual reception for
donors and friends held at the Historic Benton House. The late summer event features music
and hors d' oeuvres are served. For more information on becoming a Supporter, Donor,
Sponsor or Benefactor, please contact the church office, (317) 356-7231 or send email
expressing your interest. Your generous donation
is tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.
If you wish more information concerning IACS, please email
us or contact the church office to leave a message for Chairperson, Susan Palmer Bowers or

Wagner Bells
These delightful handbells (and their ringers, of course)
provide music for worship services and special events, weddings, accompany the choir,
participate in festivals and perform throughout the city as an outreach ministry. |
Persons interested in ringing are placed in appropriate
choirs depending on previous ringing experience and music reading ability.
The
adult Wagner Bells group rehearses on Thursdays at 6:00PM and there
is the separate Charles Wesley Ringers for our youth. The Festival
Ringers have auditions as needed and their rehearsals vary. The
beginners can participate in the Handbell Workshops.
