Music

First Church has a long tradition of musical excellence in the greater Sarasota area. Our music ministry offers an exciting and fulfilling opportunity for all to serve. Music plays an important role in the life of those who follow God, and it has been a cornerstone of First United Methodist Church for over a century. FUMC has a diverse group of talented musicians who serve faithfully in our music ministry.

Our purpose is to glorify God. Our mission is to make Disciples of Christ. Our vision is to further God’s Kingdom.

Everyone is welcome to be a part of our music program at FUMC.

Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day.
