Music Ministry of the Traditional Service

The Ministry of Music of the Traditional service at First Presbyterian Church includes five choirs. More than 200 singers enrich our offerings of prayer and praise! The children's and youth choirs sing regularly at our 9 a.m. Traditional Worship Service and at special services on Thanksgiving, Palm Sunday, and other times during the year.

The Chancel Choir is the adult choir of the congregation. This 70-voice ensemble sings every Sunday at the 10:30 a.m. service, at special services throughout the church year, and in concerts. The choir has made two European tours, the first to Germany and Austria, and, more recently throughout the United Kingdom. It is conducted by Greg Funfgeld, Director of Music. Call Greg at ext. 218 to schedule an audition.

The High School Chorale is for young men and women in grades 9 through 12. These talented young people meet for rehearsal every Tuesday from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Every other year, the choir is invited to join a mission trip. Call Greg (ext. 218) for more information
