The Music Ministry of First Church supports congregational worship through the medium of music, beautifies the experience of worship through music and welcomes all newcomers to the church and community. You don’t have to be a virtuoso singer or ringer to join our choirs.  We put a great deal of emphasis on ‘teaching’ how to sing, ring and read music.  There are instrumental and vocal soloist opportunities as well.
