Music/Dance

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

Psalm 100:1-2

There are lots of ways to make a joyful noise at Erwin First! Sing in our Choir, perform with our Praise Band or play in our Hand Bell Choir (a great option for people new to music). Some Erwin First members participate in all three! And if you’d rather dance than make music, we’re welcoming new people in our Sacred Movements Dance ministry, too.

We also occasionally host guest performers like the Hope for Africa Children’s Choir, pictured here, who performed at Erwin First in November 2011; Mandala, a Philadelphia-based, devotional band with Indian, Turkish and Celtic influences; the world-famous Watoto Children’s Choir; and acclaimed Christian singer/songwriter Ginny Owens. And don’t miss Erwin First’s annual summer Christian Praise Festival and Food Giveaway featuring praise bands and performers from throughout Central New York.

We also have a really cool Casavant Freres Organ.
