At the heart of the music ministry at First Church is our Adult Choir. The Adult Choir sings at the regular 10am worship services and special services and events throughout the program year. They lead us in the singing of hymns and specialize in the traditional/classical sacred choral music repertory. The Adult is open to all Gr. 9 and up and new members are welcome at any time!
