Mebane United Methodist Church is pleased to have Daniel serving as its Minister of Music. This position includes directing the chancel choir, praise-team and youth choir as well as overseeing hand bell ensembles. As a soloist he has the opportunity to sing in a variety of churches and other venues. Daniel’s passion for choral music is demonstrated by his energy and enthusiasm during both rehearsals and performances.
