Music
Methodism has a rich musical heritage. The church was born in song. The Wesley’s committed their lives to shaping the musical and textual memory of God’s people. They formed a lyrical theology by which the faith community could remember who it is and what it is to do.
The music ministry of First United Methodist Church continues to do this today. It considers the experience of music to be a spiritual discovery which enables the congregation’s worship, and draws them to truths beyond their own ability to imagine or create. Musical experiences and training are offered to all age levels so that gifts will be developed; and the church will sing and pray the story of God’s redemptive act in Christ both now and in the future.
