First Protestant Church Sanctuary Choir

The FPC Sanctuary Choir is a vibrant group of talented individuals who join their voices for the worship of God. Offering anthems ranging from the “classical” venue including works by J. S. Bach and Johannes Brahms to more contemporary works arranged by Pote and Hopson, the FPC Sanctuary choir sings a balanced repertoire.

Recent choral offerings include the Gloria of Antonio Vivaldi and variety of American sacred music gems performed during our European tour that culminated with performances in Braunfels, Germany. The musical tastes of today’s congregation are more varied than ever. We think we’ve found a balance to suit all diets.

Participation in the FPC Sanctuary Choir is open to all. From the most experienced chorister to the most challenged, we welcome you to join your voice with ours in the worship of God. In addition to our commitment to the worship of God, the FPC Sanctuary Choir enjoys a very healthy social calendar. Come join the fun!

The FPC Sanctuary Choir rehearses each Wednesday from August 15 – May 31 in the FPC Choir Room from 7:30 – 9:00 p.m. Each fall, the FPC Sanctuary Choir enjoys a fall retreat during one of the last two weekends in August. Please contact the Director of Fine Arts and Music, Dr. Joey M. Martin, with any questions regarding the music programs at First Protestant.
