Music at First

Sunday Mornings

Music is a central part of our Sunday morning worship celebrations.

On any given Sunday morning you will hear a variety of music styles. Everything from classic hymns played on our magnificent organ to modern songs played by our band.

As part of the Methodist tradition, we believe in singing our theology. We work hard to select music that is inclusive, culturally appropriate, and relevant. Not all of our music is explicitly Christian either. We will often incorporate secular music and songs from various justice movements.

The FUMC Choir 

Join us! All are welcome to participate, regardless of age or musical ability.

We work hard and strive for excellence, searching for wonder and beauty in the music we carefully prepare. Singing is the most obvious and visible activity, but making music is only the beginning of what we do. As choir members we are invited to be worship leaders, partners in music ministry on Sunday mornings and beyond the walls of our building; we each strive to be a pastoral musician, inspiring through music, serving others, encouraging all to sing and feel like they belong. We rehearse Wednesdays at 6:30 pm.

Bell Choir

Interested in music but not necessarily singing?

Eugene FUMC's bell choirs are the place for you.  Our bell choir performs a unique and exciting repertoire once a month, sometimes in collaboration with the FUMC Choir. Bell Choir practices on Wednesdays from 5:00pm - 6:15pm. First Bells is directed by Shira Fadeley.
