Marc Profant
Director of Music & Worship Arts
Marc is a Florida native, born and raised just minutes from the beach on the Gulf Coast of central Florida. Marc is excited to be a part of the FUMC family!
Prior to joining the staff at FUMC in October of 2022, Marc has worked as a music educator in schools and served as Music Director/Organist in churches in Florida, Colorado, and Texas. For over 25 years his music career has spanned both choral and instrumental worlds. Marc studied choral conducting with Dr. Ray Robinson and instrumental conducting with Dr. Alexander Jimenez and Lawrence Leighton Smith (Conductor, Colorado Springs Philharmonic). Marc was a member of the a cappella ensemble The Colorado Vocal Arts Ensemble. He had the wonderful opportunity to travel abroad and serve as the Artistic Director of The India Children’s Choir. Over the years, Marc has led his church choirs in the rehearsing and performing of major choral works such as Faure Requiem, Handel Messiah, Rutter Gloria and Magnificat, Durufle Requiem, Vivaldi Gloria, Lauridsen Lux Aeterna, just to mention a few, and all accompanied with full orchestra. Marc’s passion is using his gifts and skills in leading out in vibrant and uplifting worship for the local church while equipping and empowering others to do the same!
Marc holds a music degree from Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, Florida. In his down time, he loves to travel and spend time with his friends and get back to the Colorado mountains as often as possible. He is a HUGE tennis fan and enjoys cooking and grilling. Most mornings you can find him in his rocking chair on his front porch with coffee in hand ready to start the day! Marc is thrilled to be a part of the ministry team and serve at FUMC!
