Music Program

At First Presbyterian, music is an integral part of worship. We sing traditional hymns and celebrate sacred music.

The organ is a two manual electropneumatic pipe organ that was installed in 1990 by the Reuter Organ Company, Lawrence, Kansas. The working pipes are concealed behind beautifully painted faux pipes that form the backdrop to the apse.

The choir consists of singers from the church and vocal students from the IU Jacobs School of Music. All are welcome. No great knowledge of music required, just a joyful heart and love of singing. Come and join in joyful singing to the Lord! Guests are welcome.
