MUSIC MINISTRY

The Music Ministry at First United Methodist Church exists to glorify God, build community, and enrich worship through the power of music. Rooted in tradition yet open to creativity, we offer a space for all to serve—whether you sing, play an instrument, or simply bring a willing heart.

From classic hymns to blended expressions of praise, our music supports the rhythm of worship and invites everyone into deeper connection with God and each other. While some read music and others learn by ear, we believe everyone has something valuable to offer.

No experience? No problem. Just bring your passion and come make a joyful noise with us!
