Ready to make music, build lasting friendships and learn some music magic? Wednesdays at 1st our music ministry team helps children in 2nd grade through 12th find their voice, learn important musical skills and have the joy needed to help worship God through music.

Through 1st Music Ministries children and youth use handchimes, handbells and their voices at various worship services throughout the year.

Now is a great time to get started and help make joyful noises together!

Worshipping under the big tent is one of the hallmarks of the All-Church Tailgate. This year (on September 6th) Camp Wesley Woods Director, Garret Hammonds brings the message, and our 1st Kids Choirs provide some special music.

If you've been thinking about coming to church, this is a great introduction to 1st Church. Be sure and come early from 9:00 am to 10:30 am for the tailgating fun and breakfast treats at the Welcome Tent and other tailgating stations all around the parking lot. This is a great way to meet people and learn about the different Sunday School Classes and groups.

Hope to see you there!

*While the All-Church Tailgate falls on the first Sunday, there will not be Holy Communion during worship. Instead, there will be opportunities on Wednesday, September 2nd for communion at Noon and 6:00 pm in the Sanctuary (upper level) as well as during Celebrate Recovery Worship at 6:30 that evening in Asbury Hall (downstairs).
