We believe our church has a lot to offer you as you explore and grow deeper in your relationship to Jesus Christ. We offer a diverse array of church activities, small group and educational opportunities, youth and children's events, and worship experiences for this community.

First United Methodist Church is recognized throughout the central Kentucky area for its outstanding music and arts ministry. Among United Methodist churches First UMC is recognized statewide for its leadership in the Kentucky Annual Conference.

Programs such as the August Chautauqua series, Christmas Madrigal Dinner and Yuletide Festival, and summer Musical Arts Downtown have sought to broaden the scope and musical offerings of our church. These programs have attracted participation and attendance from a large area.

A comprehensive program of music is presented by our church. In addition to the vocal choirs for 4 year olds through 94 year olds, the church offers hand bell choirs, a sacred dance group, instrumental ensembles, choral speaking, Orff ensemble and drama groups.

The primary focus of music in our church is to enhance the three worship services. A variety of choral music from all periods of music, is offered on the pipe organ, piano, harpsichord, orchestral instruments, hand bells, or contemporary ensemble. Energetic, creative hymn singing is a part of the traditional worship services and is lead by the excellent Chancel Choir. Newer, more contemporary music is shared in the Good News at Nine service by the Praise Team and instrumentalists.

The Chancel Choir sings regularly at the 11:00 service. The music repertoire includes music from the classics to current composers. At special times during the year the choir performs larger works accompanied by orchestra. The summer Chautauqua series in August affords a time to perform Broadway show tunes and other secular music. The Christmas season is a real feast for sights, sounds, and culinary delights. For many years the Madrigal Singers and other choirs in the church present a three night production of a Madrigal Dinner and Yuletide Festival. This elaborate production involves over 200 church members.

The youth choir have a regular vesper services each Sunday evening along with ensembles, handbells, and sacred dance.

Children’s music is a part of our regular Wednesday night programming. We have two choirs for children, Carol Choir (age 2-1st grade) and Wesley Choir (2nd-5th grades).

Please, feel free to call us, email us, check out our web info, or drop by the church so that we can get to know you better, and so that you can see firsthand what God is doing in our community of faith. May God bless you this day!
