“I Play The Notes As They Are Written, But It Is God Who Makes The Music.” - J.S.Bach

If music makes the world go around, then First Congregational Church is spinning. The FCC Music Ministry builds on a rich tradition of excellence. It is a powerful form of spiritual expression for all ages from birth to adult. The goals for our music ministry are to:

1. Inspire spiritual growth through music
2. Build music reading, ringing and singing skills
3. Serve our church and greater community with our musical gifts.

If you have never been in choir before - it’s never too late to start. New members, regular visitors and friends are always welcome to join the choir! Join our vocal choirs, bell choirs, birth-6 years old music class and more today!

Vocal Choirs (Kindergarten-Adult)

Being in a FCC choir is fun, rewarding and a great place to be. New singers are welcome to join throughout the year. There may be a concert coming up or a cantata that we are preparing for – but we can always find a way to include you! Music reading skills or singing experience is not necessary to join. Come with an open heart and we can teach you what you need to know. Contact Ann Tucker for more information – ann@fcc-cl.org.
