Make a Joyful Noise!
All children and youth are invited to join in the First Church choir and music program. In our re-envisioned programming, children and youth build musical skill, learn to express themselves in a positive environment, make new friends, and create joyful sounds all in the spirit of worship. Prior musical experience is not necessary.
Children’s and Youth choirs
Choir and music programs for children and youth begin on Sunday, September 10, 2023. There are many special opportunities including singing with the San Diego Children's Choir, participating in worship and special events, and the Children & Youth Christmas Pageant.
