Welcome Timothy Simmons!
Tucker First United Methodist Church would like to welcome Timothy Simmons as our new Director of Youth Music Ministry. Timothy brings a tremendous amount of energy, passion, experience, excellence, and creativity to his work. All of his references shared “you will be very fortunate and blessed to have Tim.” We are very excited to have Timothy join the Music Ministry team leading our youth starting on Sunday, September 25.
Mr. Simmons received his Bachelor of Science in Music Business and Teacher Certification in Music P-12, with a special emphasis in vocal performance, and a minor in piano from Winston-Salem State University, Winston-Salem, NC. He later earned his Georgia teaching certificate from Georgia State University.
Mr. Simmons has taught music at Tucker Middle School and is currently the choral music teacher at Henderson Middle School. While at Tucker Middle School, Mr. Simmons and his students have made some sweet music, traveling to compete in cities like Nashville, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. In 2020 the group traveled to New York City for an invitation-only performance at the famed Carnegie Hall.
Timothy has extensive experience as a church music leader directing and accompanying choirs in various churches in our area. Perhaps the BEST thing we can say about Timothy is that he knows Tucker families and students!
Celebration Singers
The Celebration Singers is the youth choir at Tucker First UMC. It is for youth in 6th –12th grades. The choir rehearses on Sundays from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. during the school year. In addition to serving their church by singing once a month in worship, the choir also travels on an annual Choir Tour at the end of the season. In past years our Youth Choir has represented our church in Alaska, Nova Scotia, Houston, Chicago, St. Louis, Seattle, Vancouver Island, Niagara Falls, New England, and most of the Southeastern United States. Ministry through music remains a high calling for these youth who are committed to serving their Lord and His Church through participation in this fine traditional music program.
Our purpose: We believe that we minister to others through our music. Touring is an important outreach ministry that allows us to share our faith with others.
We believe that we represent our church and the church universal by projecting a very positive image of Christian youth today.
We believe each member of the choir grows spiritually and emotionally through the daily responsibilities of caring, sharing, and reaching out to those around us.
We believe that we grow as a group by being together, getting to know each other better, and accepting each person in the group as a unique child of God.
We believe the music we learn and share makes a difference in our own lives and the lives of those who hear us.
