The neoclassical sanctuary of Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church

Druid Hills, on Emory’s campus · Atlanta

A choir for every age.

The music ministry of Glenn Memorial is built around a simple idea: a choir for every age. From the Cherub Choir’s first songs in pre-kindergarten to the Chancel Choir’s leadership at the 11:00 service, singers of every age and ability find a place to make music, led by Director of Music and Worship Arts Michael Dauterman.

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come into God’s presence with singing. — Psalm 100:1–2
