Make a Joyful Noise!
Welcome to the music ministry of First Presbyterian Church! Music is, for many of us, the place where we most intimately meet, experience, and grow in God. So as we gather in worship, enveloped in the power and presence of the Spirit, we are abundantly grateful to our choirs, instrumentalists, and soloists, who serve so tirelessly and with such unbridled passion throughout the year! We celebrate these true ministers of music, along with our church staff and congregation, who so fully embrace all that is worship, as well as the God-song which dances in, through, and among us! The Choirs of First Pres are open to you! Please join us!
Chancel Choir (Grade 9 – adult) gathers each Thursday from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m., as well as at 9:45 a.m. on Sunday morning, in the sanctuary. We prepare a richly diverse, lectionary and seasonally based repertoire. Through spirituals, sacred classics and contemporary composers and poets, we strive to offer music as the finest gift of our hearts. The ministry of this choir reaches far beyond its music to the shared journey.
Angel Ringers (our intergenerational handbell choir) rehearses on Sunday mornings from 9:00 to 9:30 AM. They are a strong and dedicated group of ringers who add great sparkle and joy to our worship through their own repertoire and by accompanying the choir.
God's Stars Choir  (Kindergarten through Grade 6) meets on Wednesday afternoons from 3:45 to 4:30 PM in the upstairs choir room. In partnership with the Love After-School Program, this time of sharing through music, snacks, and crafts is exceptional and inspirational. All of our church children, as well as those in the surrounding community are warmly invited!
 Youth Choir (Grades 7 – 12) rehearses each Wednesday from 4:30 – 5:15 PM. We never know in what direction the Spirit will lead us! We sing, we ring, we play instruments, and even steel drums. These creative beings share all that is the best in music ministry.
