Music

The First Presbyterian Music Ministry seeks to provide opportunities for all ages to seek and worship God through music. Choirs provide leadership for worship services and provide participants with opportunities for service, learning, and fun. Contact Tom George through the church office for information about any of our music programs.

Cherub Choir

Cherub Choir is for children ages 3, 4, and 5 who are not yet in school. Rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings from 5:15 - 5:45 PM. This choir, under the direction of Debby King, seeks to introduce children to music through songs, games, crafts, and movement activities. The children learn to worship and praise God through singing, playing simple instruments, and dancing.

Primary Choir

For children in Kindergarten through 2^nd grade, the Primary Choir meets as a part of Logos on Wednesday afternoons. The children begin to learn and to explore the various aspects of music through games and other fun-filled activities. Primary Choir members prepare and present anthems for worship services, sing in special programs throughout the year, and serve as part of the chorus for the annual Children’s Choir Musical presented in March.

Junior Choir

The Junior Choir is for children in grades 3-5. This choir meets as a part of Logos on Wednesday afternoons. This choir is a continuation and expansion of the Primary Choir. The Junior Choir presents anthems and other service music as part of Worship Service on a regular basis. Preparation to lead in worship is one of our priorities; however, the educational aspects so vital to the younger choirs are still continued in the Junior Choir. Junior Choir members also serve as part of the chorus for the annual Children’s Choir Musical presented in March.
