Groce UMC Music Camps
Music serves as a primary tool for faith formation. Sacred songs allow biblical truths to be learned, remembered, and in embodied in ways that are accessible and meaningful. During music camps, children learn Christian music that proclaims core faith themes including God as Creator, love and grace, trust in Christ, and faithful living. Daily activities intentionally connect the music to scripture, prayer, and conversation, helping children understand the Gospel and how a relationship with Jesus shapes their lives. Each day includes music, crafts, recreation, lunch, and caring volunteers who embody Christ's hospitality.
