Music
Pipe Organ in the First Church Sanctuary.
Our music program at First Church has something for everyone. The church music program is led by the talented and capable hands of our Organist and Choir Director Richard (Dick) Lavache. Dick brings many years of musical teaching and expertise to First Church. David Berry has led the hand bell and Chimes Choirs for many years. Paula Beaudin leads the children's choir, which also includes hand bells and chimes. These many choirs are always a blessing to the congregation in their hard work and dedication. First Church is very proud of its musical tradition.
