Our Music Ministry
“Come let us sing for joy to the Lord . . . . . Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.” Psalms 95:1-2 (NIV)
Each Sunday at First Presbyterian we come before the Lord and worship Him with gladness, making a joyful noise with the hymns that we sing. Our worship service is made even more meaningful through the special music presented under the leadership of Nancy Bolen.
We offer opportunities to participate in our music ministry through the Adult Choir and the Adult Hand Chimes Choirs. All are welcome and no prior experience is required. Please consider joining with us in praising the Lord through music and song.
Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic the Choir is not currently active but will resume once conditions improve.
