Music at First Presbyterian Church of Manhattan, KS

Many here at First Presbyterian and in our community have been blessed with extraordinary musical talents and abilities. Those members and friends seek to use those musical talents to give glory to God, and to bless others with the gift of a “joyful noise” in the form of beautiful music.

KIDS! Choir

Sunday Evenings | 4:30 p.m. during academic school year

Our KIDS! Choir, led by Children’s Music Director, Natalie Davidson, is a fun and joyful way for our young ones to prepare for music in a traditional worship service, introduce and experiment with instruments (like the bells and chimes), and learn classic Christian songs.

Special Music

We invite members of our congregation, community, and beyond to share their musical abilities in our Sunday morning worship services. We love having a variety of music from local musicians! If you would like to share your musical talent in praise, contact our Music Director, Dr. Reg Pittman!.
