Music
Our Organ
First Church has a 1968 Austin pipe organ with three manuals and 37 ranks. It was installed to coincide with the 300th anniversary of First Church. The goal was to provide an instrument which would be adequate for accompanying the choir and congregational singing, act as a solo instrument and work with other instruments. It can easily play all styles of the organ repertoire and has a rich resonance within the sanctuary walls.

We have two bell choirs. Our beginner group is Faith Ringers. they rehearse Monday evenings at 6:30 pm. Our Heart in Hand Bell Choir rehearses on Monday evenings at 7:30 pm.
