Music at First Church
The First Church in Belmont is home to a rich and varied music program, involving many members of the community. Our children's choir is open to kids and youth of all ages and performs a fully staged musical every year, along with several concerts and other performances. Our adult choirs sing in the Sunday services each week, and present two Major Music Services with a professional orchestra each year. Community members of all ages and skill levels participate in services, concerts, casual music evenings, and more. Contact Ian Garvie for more information at igarvie@uubelmont.org
