Music is an integral part of our worship service. From hymns and contemporary Christian hits to Broadway, the Beatles, Mozart, Disney, and so much more, there is a wide variety of music performed on a Sunday morning. The message we preach of love and acceptance to all can be found in almost any musical genre.
We are blessed to have two volunteer musical groups: a chancel choir and a handbell choir. These groups are filled with dedicated members who give their time and talents each week to bring something special to our services. Keep scrolling for more videos and information!
Wednesday rehearsals at 6:00 p.m. (August - May)
Our chancel choir is open to anyone in high school and older. From music majors to those who just love to sing, everyone is invited to praise God through song regardless of musical background.
Please enjoy our choir performing "Celtic Communion."
Sunday rehearsals at 11:15 a.m. (August - May)
Our handbell choir is a beautiful blend of ages from high school and up. All music abilities are welcome! You do not have to read music to ring bells - we only ask that you can count to four. :)
Please enjoy our handbell choir performing a fun rendition of "Loo, Asubuhi Njema" (Oh, Happy Morning) with percussionist, Jeff Martin.
As a way to highlight the talented young adults who play musical instruments, Jimmy arranges music for the First UCC youth band. This group meets for special occasions and brings smiles to congregation every time they perform. Open to all youth in middle school, high school, and college.
Please enjoy this performance of "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel." For more videos of our youth participating in music ministry, click here!
We are fortunate to welcome many special guest musicians to our sanctuary each month. These artists' talents are greatly appreciated by our congregation, and it is always a joy to have them with us! Each summer, we fill our services with music performed by special guests from all over greater Cincinnati. Have an interest in collaborating with Jimmy? Email him.
Please enjoy our friends from Wilmington, Jessica, Cece, Bekah, Kevin, and Gary, joining Jimmy in their performance of "Feels Like Joy."
