First United Methodist Church stands at the heart of downtown Baton Rouge as an anchor of stability for many of the people of our great city. Since 1836, First Church has been a place to worship God, to learn the story of God's love, to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ, and to serve the larger community.

Music at First United is a gift from God and a powerful vehicle for spiritual formation. We use music as a tool for the praise of God. We use music to help create a climate in worship where persons can be encountered by God. And we use music to provide musical and theological images which help us live out our faith in our daily lives.

Our Choirs:

The Angelus Choir
Four through six year olds enjoy their first singing experiences as they learn about sound, instruments, teamwork and social interaction.

The Carol Choir
First and Second graders build on their earlier musical encounters as they form into a more organized “choir” experience.

The Wesley Choir
Third through sixth graders continue to develop music skills through choral singing and individual tutoring.

Youth Choir

First Church is a place with open hearts, open minds and open doors, where people at all stages of their faith journey can feel comfortable and grow in discipleship. We hope you will join us.
