music ministry

Our first and foremost mission in Music Ministry at First Presbyterian Church Monrovia is to enhance the worship experience of the congregation.

Our unique blend of rock-n-roll praise songs, traditional sing-a-long hymns, andbeautiful choir anthems guarantee that there is something for everyone to enjoy. But music is only a means to an end—that end being a satisfying and inspiring time for worshipers to absorb and revel in the word. Music feeds the soul; the Word feeds the mind.

If you'd like to know more about the events hosted by our music ministry, sign up from our choir director, David Layne.

We come together every Sunday Morning a hour before Classical Service for rehearsal—and within the first five minutes, we put all of our worries, fatigues, and concerns aside as we sing out our hearts, all the while improving as musicians. We learn everything from renaissance motets to gospel and pop, and sing them for the congregation every Sunday morning.

Numerous recent psychology studies support what we choir folk have always known; when you sing in a choir you improve posture, breathing, focus, stimulate endorphins, and most importantly—make new friends for life. Not to mention that church choirs are famous for their snacks!

We have a spacious dedicated choir rehearsal room at First Presbyterian Church Monrovia, and we welcome all who have an interest in joining our mighty group. There are no auditions, no solos, and no requirements to join other than a desire to make music with others. For more information, please contact us below.
