Music at First Presbyterian Church

A variety of opportunities are available for members of all ages to serve God through music at First Presbyterian Church.  We continually strive to grow in our music program using God-centered music that presents sound theology to praise and glorify God in our worship services.

All choirs maintain a stress-free/relaxed environment that allows time for fun and fellowship while learning and preparing music at the highest possible level.  We receive great joy from worshiping God through music.  Our music is for God but also for the people.  Our choirs are open to everyone -- those who have been involved in music for years and those who are participating in music for the first time. 

"Sing to the Lord, all the earth!  Make a joyful sound before Him!"

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

There are three paid choral positions open to college students.  First Presbyterian Church understands its responsibility in developing and training young adults to be leaders in church music.  Emily Kent and John McDonald came to us from MTSU as our scholarship recipients and are now leaders in our music ministry.  This is a wonderful example of this program's success!

Bernard Leo Steen, III (Chip) is the recipient of the Thomas A. and Olga White Scholarship
