Instrumental Ensembles

The Instrumental Music Ministry at First & Calvary serves to provide an outlet to all of those with instrumental music training and talent. Throughout the year we use instrumental ensembles in worship. We appreciate the enhancement our brass, string, woodwind and percussion players provide in the worship setting.

Praise Band

To be considered  to be on of the Praise Band members or a substitute member for the Contemporary Service on Sunday at 11:00 AM, you may call Sharon Reed at 862-5068 for an audition. Once you have been selected as a member or substitute, you will be asked to complete a worship training session. Each Praise Band member is expected to dependently study the music selected and attend extra rehearsals throughout the year as necessary. This is a year-round commitment.

Young Musicians

If you are a school age musician, we have opportunities for you to be a part of the music program at First & Calvary!

During the Advent season instrumental ensembles are organized to play in the North Atrium before and after worship.

The annual Youth Music Festival is held on a Sunday afternoon in March. We encourage our young vocalists and instrumentalists to take part in this special recital for Grades Kindergarten through 12.
