At First UMC, we continually aim to reaffirm and rediscover God’s great story of salvation through music. We believe that our worship should be:
> Biblical/Trinitarian—conveying the truth of Scripture and following biblical patterns of worship; addressing all three persons of our Triune God > Relational—recognizing that God calls us into a “conversation” through worship (we both listen and respond) > Formative—shaping our faith through the theology of our songs and prayers > Generous—offering and expressing all that we have before God > Equipping—guiding us to serve as Christ’s hands and feet, both in our community and beyond |
The First UMC Celebration Team serves in the Celebration Service (9am) on Sunday mornings. It is comprised of vocalists, instrumentalists, and sound/media technicians. Most of the music played is contemporary worship music, but includes older songs and hymns. They rehearse Wednesday nights at 7:30pm, and Sunday mornings at 8:15am. All are welcome to discuss auditioning!
