Music Ministry

First Presbyterian Church is filed with the joy of music!

Offering both vocal and instrumental music as a powerful expression of Worship, our goal is to lead the church to worship through music and to provide the congregation with a meaningful musical experience. We seek to glorify God through both contemporary and traditional music, foster personal growth in faith as Christian musicians, and provide musical education for children through seniors.

Our Music Ministry is an exciting place to learn, lead, and experience worship through music. Our Traditional 9:00 a.m. service incorporates both hymn music and a choir, whereas, our Contemporary 11:00 a.m. service has both modern music and a live band. These two worship opportunities allow our music ministry to have a wide variety of service opportunities for vocalists, as well as instrumentalists. We are a teaching music ministry, so anyone with a desire to be involved will be utilized in worship..

As a result of being a teaching music ministry, we are excited to offer special musical opportunities to various children and youth each year. Each group then performs on special occasions and each year, we also offer the teen ministry a chance to not only take over an entire Sunday worship service, but to also 100% take over and perform all worship music! These times provide a magical experience not only for our congregation but also for our music ministry. It is a blessing to teach, lead, and experience worship through music!

We welcome people who have a love of music and a willingness to commit to a vital and dedicated music ministry! Please do not hesitate to contact us if you are interested in joining our music ministry team today!
