Music and the Arts...

Music is the heart of worship at First Glendale. The acoustics of our Sanctuary are ideal for both choral and instrumental music. Whether a solo, the voices of our Chancel Choir, the upbeat music of our Contemporary worship band "Spiritually Sound", or the uplifting sound of people joining their voices together in praise, you will find music is a blessing at First Glendale.

Chancel Choir
The Chancel Choir provides music each Sunday at the 9:30 a.m. traditional worship service. They accompany the hymns, lead the responses, and provide a variety of music in their Sunday anthems. The choir also provides special music during Advent, Lent, as well as a Cantata in the fall. Chancel Choir practices in the music room on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. and newcomers are always welcome. The Chancel Choir is led by  our Traditional Worship Music Director Larry Del Ray.

Spiritually Sound
Our praise band "Spiritually Sound" provides the music for the 11:00 a.m. contemporary worship service each Sunday. If you are looking for a dynamic, upbeat approach to worship, we invite you to worship with music by "Spiritually Sound". The band is led by our Contemporary Worship Music Director Michael Duncan.

Drama, Musicians and Sacred Dance

There are many opportunities for you to share your gift of drama, music, or sacred dance at First Glendale. We are always looking for musicians, bell ringers, accompanists, and those who have been involved in drama or dance. If you would like to know how you can be involved in our music ministry contact either of our Music Directors.
