Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp!
Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe!
-Psalm 150:3-4

Instrumental Music

Instrumental soloists and groups frequently enrich our worship experiences. First Presbyterian has been blessed to have a wide range of instrumentalists. Some are children and youth. Others are teachers and professors of music.

All persons who wish to share talents in music ministry are encouraged to contact the music coordinator. (jan@fpccr.org)

Triem Memorial Youth Organ Scholarship
An organ scholarship is offered annually for an auditioned youth to study the pipe organ. The organ lessons are given by the church organist. The scholarship is open to all youth in the area.

New Kid on the Bench
Youth and children are given opportunities to assist the organist in worship services and to learn about the pipe organ.
