Music Ministry

At First Presbyterian Church, music is more than a part of worship—it’s a ministry that unites us in faith, inspires our spirits, and amplifies our collective voice in praise. As part of our faith community, we invite you to engage with a dynamic worship music program designed to touch hearts and encourage active participation.

Our Values & Vision

  • Every hymn, instrument, and voice serves as a tool for reflection, celebration, and inspiration at First Presbyterian Church. We encourage a space where music draws us closer to God and motivates us to live out our faith in tangible ways.

    Our approach to worship is not defined by labels like “traditional” or “modern.” Instead, we seek to create an intimate and engaging experience that resonates with everyone who gathers.

Worship Overview

  • Each worship service is thoughtfully designed to resonate with our congregation—blending a variety of musical styles to inspire hearts and minds. From adorning hymns to uplifting songs, our worship forms a bridge between all ages, sharing in a collective praise that fills our sanctuary.

    Our worship service is one of expression and participation where everyone is encouraged to sing. You will find guided hymn sings, moving musical reflections by Caryn, our pianist, prepared songs from our Worship team and Omnis Choir, and occasional special guests from Capital University and other respectable musicians from our community.

    You will quickly become immersed in an atmosphere of joy, unity, and reverence through our church’s transformative power of music.

Serving Through Song

  • Serving as the heart of our music ministry, the Worship Team guides our congregation in worship to cultivate a spirit of togetherness in praise to God.

    Join Us!

    Rehearsals for the Worship Team are held weekly on Wednesdays from 8-9 p.m. in the church sanctuary. This time of preparation is open to those who feel called to serve through music. If you are interested in using your gifts to enrich our worship, we invite you to join us and become a part of this transformative ministry.

  • The Omnis Choir is perfect for those who enjoy singing but prefer a less frequent commitment. This group offers a relaxed yet meaningful opportunity to contribute to worship, singing every 4-6 weeks and on major holidays.

    Join Us!

    Rehearsals are held weekly on Wednesdays from 7-8 p.m.

    Coming Soon…

    The Omnis Choir will collaborate on a large choir concert in Spring 2025! Whether you're a seasoned singer or just enjoy music, we hope you’ll accept our invite to be a part of this special occasion.

  • The Celebration Ringers, directed by Bill Wittman, are a group of handbell musicians that offer thoughtful and uplifting performances to complement our worship service. This group performs during special events at the church and during the occasional worship service.

    Join Us!

    Rehearsals are held weekly on Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. in the bell room at First Presbyterian (room 318).
