Music Ministry

Our mission is to use God’s wonderful gift of music to bring His people closer to Him and to provide opportunities for all who feel called to serve through our choirs, handbell ringers, praise teams, and instrumental ensembles to worship God at First Congregational Church.

Soli Deo Gloria… to God alone be the glory.
