Children's Choirs

QUICK LINKS: Download brochure Ministry Philosophy Objectives Youth Choirs

The goal of the children's choir program at First Pres is to give children the opportunity to worship, grow, and serve through music. The choir program begins in September and runs through May, but children can join their age-appropriate choir during the year, space permitting. Children's choirs are featured at the annual Hanging of the Greens concert in December and in worship services throughout the year.
