Music in Worship
As our congregation is blessedly diverse, so too are our music offerings and programs. Worship is enlivened with a variety of musical styles, including hymns, classical, jazz, African-American Spirituals, and folk. Our beautiful organ is one of the finest in the country and enriches our music without limiting our desire to explore less formal styles.
Rosales Pipe Organ, Opus 16
The Rosales Pipe Organ, Opus 16 is used for worship service at First Church. The Organ was dedicated on October 17, 1993. In building the Opus 16, Rosales Organ Builders chose to preserve the handcrafted wooden facade and 75% of the original pipes from the Kimball Organ which had been used since the church was constructed in 1913.
