Music
As a part of our worship, music reflects the limitless creativity of God.
Through inspiring music, we experience God’s presence, respond to God’s grace in word and Spirit, express our faith, and serve our church and community.
There are opportunities for people of all ages to participate. Explore below or contact Li-Wen Monk at liwenm@fpcberkeley.org for more information.
First Pres Worship Band
The First Pres Worship Band provides musical leadership for the 11:30 am worship service as well as for other church-wide events throughout the year. We are dedicated to communicating the reality of Jesus Christ through varied expressions of music. We incorporate diverse instrumentation such as voice, guitar, percussion, keyboard, and strings.
If you’d like to be a part of a group of gifted musicians committed to musical and spiritual growth, please contact John Yoo at (510) 848-6252 ext. 265 or johny@fpcberkeley.org.
Children’s & Youth Choirs
