Minister of Music
​Deanna Gibeau
​Deanna is MUMC’s new Music Minister. She began playing organ for her childhood Methodist church in middle school and continued to play and conduct choirs at various churches throughout her college and adult years. With a BA in Music Education from UW-Madison and a Masters degree in vocal performance from Mannes College, New York, Deanna now teaches private voice and piano, composes, has spearheaded and conducted children’s and women’s choirs, organized choral festivals and visiting choir tours, and music directed and performed with various choral, religious, and theater groups. Her favorite hymn is “In the Bleak Midwinter.” Deanna’s greatest joy is to provide opportunities for all voices to join in singing and making music together. She also loves to make delicious food for family and friends, ride her bicycle, and hike with her dogs.

Minister of Children's Ministries
​Gayle Meyer
I am the Children’s Ministry Director.  I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with degrees in Psychology and Social Work.  My husband and I have two grown sons.  Our family joined Mequon United Methodist Church in 2001.  At that time, I joined the Children’s Ministry team, supporting and teaching Sunday School.  I also worked at Mequon Junior Kindergarten teaching preschool. I have a passion for teaching children and helping them create a strong faith foundation that they can build on. ​

Organist
​Elna Hickson
Originally from New York City, and then a small town north of Boston, Massachusetts, moving to Wisconsin has proven to be a life-changing experience.  I was part of the first Accompanying Program at UWM. I have been a free-lance accompanist in the Milwaukee area for over 40 years, working with choirs of all ages (schools and community groups), playing for theater productions (also in schools and the community) and many years of subbing as organist in all denominations of churches in the Milwaukee area.  I was subbing at MUMC in 2007 when the position became permanent, and being offered the opportunity to stay close to home was truly a wonderful gift to me.    The music I play and those with whom I make that music provide a spiritual dimension to my life that cannot be measured.
