Welcome to the United Church of Sun City
Our chancel choir has approximately 20 to 30 singers, depending on the time of year, and our anthems vary from classical through contemporary in style.
The mission of our program is to provide music that enhances the liturgy and enables our congregation to pray twice through the music. When our organist first came she told our minister of music that her job was to "take the congregation to the throne of God every week."
View recorded musical offerings on our Sermon Page.
Minister of Music Alan Paulson brings over 40 years of successful music director experience in Christian Churches, public schools, performance choirs and community colleges to our Church. Alan earned his Masters in Choral Music Conducting at ASU and continues expanding his trade by taking courses to maintain his certifications.
The church regularly hosts special music performances for the congregation. They range from concerts at the monthly ice cream socials, to the Palm Sunday and Christmas Cantatas, to a three-concert Chamber Music and continental breakfast concert series and more. We announce upcoming performances in the calendar and at the top of this page.
Happy April from your Music Ministry!
Easter Sunday is not until April 20 this year, so this month may be even busier than our typical April!
Our Choir and Praise Team, plus Floyd and Beverly, have all been working hard to present the most beautiful Lenten music possible to enhance our worship services. I am so proud of each of them! We are also making progress on all of the songs in our Easter Cantata:
From Silence to Song by Joseph Martin

“Christ, the Lord is risen today, sons of men and angels say. Raise your joys and triumphs high; SING, ye heavens and earth reply, Allelujah!” by Charles Wesley.
Have a Blessed Easter,
Alan Paulson, Minister of Music
