Youth Bells

Youth in grades 6-12 are encouraged to participate in this fun bell group led by Lynette Smith. Ringers meet on Wednesdays at 5:00pm in the basement music area. There is no musical experience required to start ringing! Kids can ring in this group from 5:00-5:45pm and then enjoy the Manna in the Middle meal (in the Community Life Center) before worship at 6:00pm. Middle School Ministry and High School Youth group programs follow worship from 7:00-8:00pm.

Adults and Young Adults

Chancel Choir 

Jubilee Ringers

The Chancel Choir is available for adults, as well as high school, middle school, and college students. Rehearsals are Wednesdays at 7:00pm in the church sanctuary. This group prepares music for our Sunday Morning worship service. Childcare is available, but please call ahead. 

Worship Team

We are a diverse group of Jesus followers who lead worship in various ways through our choir, worship team, bells, special music, and just about anything else you could think of! We are looking for people who love Jesus, love being part of a committed group of musicians who want to lead our church in growing closer to God through worship, and want to have fun. Are you interested? Fill out a contact form and tell us a little about yourself!
Our adult bell choir, Jubilee Ringers, rehearse on Tuesdays at 7 PM. This is a time change from what was previously posted. New and returning ringers are welcome! It is necessary to be fully vaccinated as we will stand beside each other.

Please contact Brenda Hieb, Jubilee Ringers Director, at
bfkhieb@gmail.com or 605-691-9395 to let me know if you plan to ring handbells this coming year.

Media Ministry

As our church is reopening, we need help with our media and tech ministry now more than ever! I am looking for volunteers who are interested in helping with the many ‘behind the scenes’ aspects that go into all of our worship services including: operating cameras and live streaming equipment, running audio, video, and lighting equipment, as well as special events such as weddings and funerals. Our team has a lot of fun using our skills and talents to serve God in a unique way. If you have experience with music, video, or theatre, I’d love to talk to you!

Contact Sam Becker, Worship Technology/Media Director, at media@brookingsmethodist.org or call the
church office (605-692-4345) if you or someone you know is
interested in helping with our media ministry!
