Music and Fine Arts at First
First Lutheran Church embraces the arts as an opportunity to Share Christ's Love. Children's choirs, praise teams, instrumental groups, adult choir and handbell choir all provide music for worship services. Instrumental and vocal soloists share their musical gifts as special music during worship and other events. Artists create visual expressions that bring meaning, richness and texture to our worship experience. Drama, dance and puppet theater also provide ways to glorify
God and share the love of Christ with others.
There's room in the choir for you! Singers and instrumentalists are welcome to join any of the music ministries at First at
