Rob Drummond, our Music Minister
It was in early 1991 that Rob Drummond dedicated himself to working in the church. While practicing piano late one night at his home church in Kansas City for a college full-ride scholarship audition, Rob was called to serve the church in some capacity for the rest of his life.
Rob held true to his calling in 1995 by a accepting a position as music minister for a small church in Kirksville, Missouri, where he attended Truman State University. After marrying his wife, Erika, and graduating from Truman, they moved to the Bloomington area where they both pursued graduate music degrees from Indiana University. Rob became the music minister at UBC shortly after arriving in 1996 and has served as music minister ever since. After graduating from IU with a Masters of Arts in teaching and a Masters of Music in tuba performance, Rob worked as a band director in Nashville. He is currently the choir/orchestra director at Eastern Greene Schools.
Rob is the father of two lovely children, Andy and Emily. He is also an avid tuba player and cook, with a strong interest in literature and computers.

What to expect of music at UBC
At UBC, you can expect to find a mix of traditional worship music including standard hymns alongside newer praise tunes. We have an amazing amount of musical talent in our small church and are blessed with an exceptional, smaller choir. In recent years, UBC has experimented with adding more "contemporary"-sounding offerings to our service with plans to further develop a more blended worship outlook.
Here's a blast from our Past!
A few years ago a several members of the UBC Choir and the Senior Adult Sunday School Class ventured up to Beef & Boards Dinner Theater in Indianapolis for a showing of Smoke on the Mountain.
Here are a few recent musical moments at UBC:
Fat Sunday (click here)~ The Sunday before Lent was a great excuse for some jazzy worship music!
Liturgical Dancing (click here) ~ Emily, one of our youth members, was truly worshipful with her dance to "Glorious Day."
