OUR
MINISTRIES
& GROUPS
Music Ministries
Music plays a vital role in any worship. At the Paupack Church,
we have a variety of music ministries
enhancing our worship experience.
Keyboards and More...
Sure, some Sundays you'll still hear the traditional pipe organ sound coming from our Allen Organ. But our musicians are also performing with piano and digital keyboards, as well as music videos on our big screens, creating contemporary music that is upbeat, uplifting, powerful and meaningful.
Strings & Percussion
Often heard in addition to, and sometimes playing with our keyboard instruments are a variety of stringed instruments, too! Guitars, banjos, dulcimers, and autoharps are a regular part of our music ministry. Throw in the tambourines and some other percussion instruments and hands are clapping and toes are tapping!
In addition, singers often use performance tracks, too, creating an atmosphere as if an entire band or orchestra were present.
If you play an instrument of any kind, or love to sing, speak to someone about using your talents during worship at our church.
Bell Choir
The Ansley Ringers, have been performing for nearly three decades now! If you'd like to try ringing in our choir, speak to Pastor Tony or Nancy Luke. They'll get you started. Even if you don't read music, they'll show you how you can become a bell ringer!
Drama Ministry
The Paupack Players
Started by Marylou Ambrose way back in 1997, the Paupack Players drama ministry has been performing during worship and elsewhere for over two decades now! The Paupack Players are readers theater, meaning there is no memorization. The scripts are read, acted out and present a theme that's tied to the sermon which follows. They're usually humorous, fun to do, and provide a way for anyone to participate in the worship service. If you'd like to be a Paupack Player some Sunday morning, talk to Pastor Tony. He'll get you started!
United Methodist Women
United Methodist Women are a community of women whose purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ; to develop a creative, supportive fellowship; and to expand concepts of mission through participation
in the global ministries of the church.

United Methodist Men
United Methodist Men are a creative supportive fellowship of men who seek to know Jesus Christ, to grow spiritually, and to seek
daily his will. Its primary purpose is to declare the centrality of Christ in the lives of men and in all their relationships.

Alcoholics Anonymous
Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.
Meetings are held Thursdays @ 8 PM downstairs in Fellowship Hall
