Music Ministry

We are blessed to offer worship services at 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. every Sunday at First Presbyterian Church. Our varied music ministry helps lead our corporate worship in both services. We follow God’s command to worship as seen in scripture.

Our worship is our personal and corporate response to God for who He is and for the great things that He has done! Worshiping God through music and song is part of offering our lives as a living sacrifice to God (Romans 12:1). Along with music, we confess to God, read, and meditate his Word, praying for one another (1 Timothy 2:1-4). 

Sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, praise his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
— Psalms 96:1-2
Sing to him, sing praise to him;
tell of all his wonderful acts.
Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
— Psalm 105:2-3
Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.
— Psalm 95:1-2
...be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord...
— Ephesians 5:18-19

Children’s Music

The children’s music ministry is an integral part of the children's ministry and reflects the Bible lesson of the day. From singing fun songs to bell ringing to signing songs to children’s choir, all is about “letting the little children come” and worship Jesus.
