Music Ministry

More Than Music

Music contributes deeply to the worship life of our community of faith. Speak to our music director, Robert Morehead, about your interest. There is always a place for your musical gift!  With our music, we “Serve the Lord with gladness” and “come into his presence with singing!” (Psalm 100:2)

Singing Opportunities

Cross Generational Choir-All Ages
Our Cross Generational Choir is for all ages and leads and sings monthly at our 11:00 AM services from October to Easter Sunday (including Christmas Eve). Our repertoire is of diverse styles and includes traditional/modern hymnody and classics. Generally, this group rehearses on the last Wednesday of the month from 7:00-8:00 PM.

Chancel Choir- High School and Up
Our Chancel Choir meets more frequently to rehearse motets and church anthems arranged for 2-part, SAB, and SATB choirs. The Chancel Choir’s main role is to lead hymns from our Glory To God hymnal to build congregational singing at the 11:00 AM service here at First Presbyterian. The ensemble sings weekly from the end of August through April, including Easter, and rehearses weekly on Wednesdays from 7:00-8:00 PM.

Sonrise Singers- All Ages
We are excited to expand our choirs to the 8:45 AM service. This vocal group sings only twice a year (September and March) and is open to anyone who wants to sing. We will rehearse for 10 minutes at 9:30 AM on the Sunday before we sing, and we will also meet at 8:15 AM on the Sunday we sing. Online rehearsal tracks will also be available. Please invite all of your musical friends, and let’s worship God together!

First Presbyterian Carolers-All Ages
We thoroughly enjoy caroling to our homebound members during the Christmas and Easter seasons, weather permitting. We meet on a Sunday that we will announce in the bulletin at 4:15 PM for a short rehearsal, then immediately carol until 6:00 PM. There is no preparation needed for this, and anyone who likes to sing is welcome to join us!

Kingdom Kids Choir- Grades Pre-K to 5
This is a choir for Pre-K-5th graders with the heart to express their faith in song. Ordinarily, they present a short musical for the season of Advent and Christmas. We meet on Sunday afternoons during the Kingdom Kids meeting time seasonally to sing music.

Ringing Opportunities

Kyrk Ringers-Ages 10 and up
The Kyrk Ringers enjoy working on rhythmic, tuneful music and studying the percussive techniques of handbells. We look forward to sharing our music at the 11:00 AM worship service each month and occasionally at the 8:45 AM service. We rehearse on Mondays from 5:45-6:45 PM, September to Palm Sunday.

The Early Light Ringers- All children
This group of younger ringers rings 2-4 times a year for our 8:45 AM Early Light service. The ringers play one-two notes each, and short rehearsals take place the week immediately before playing at 9:30 AM.

Spiritual Development Through Music

Each week, our Director of Music, Robert Morehead, will feature a hymn selection from our Glory to God Hymnal. Robert will provide some background on each selection and sing it, playing the organ or piano here at First Presbyterian. Please subscribe or view the Hymn of the Week videos.
