Music Ministries
Chancel Choir
The First Church Saginaw Chancel Choir is open to singers aged high school and up. No audition is required and we welcome singers of all ability levels and experience. Rehearsals are on Thursday nights from 7-8 pm and Sundays at 10:30 am before the 11 am service. As of spring 2023, we have 17 active singers on our roster and are hoping to continue growing the choir. Once a month, we collaborate with the Chancel Choir from Second Presbyterian Church, which roughly doubles the size of our choir for the day. The churches alternate hosting the joint choirs. We look forward to continue exploring collaborative possibilities between the churches.
Bell Choir
The First Church Saginaw Bell Choir collaborates with the Second Presbyterian Bell Choir to form a group of about 12 ringers. We alternate playing at both churches for Sunday services once a month. The groups rehearse separately at our own churches until the week before a joint service, when we have our final rehearsal together as a full group. The First Pres Bell Choir regular rehearsal schedule is Thursday nights from 8-8:30 pm after choir rehearsal.
Solos & Special Music
Throughout the year, special music is provided by guest soloists and instrumentalists. This is especially common during the summer months from June through August when our Chancel Choir is on break.
