Music leads worship and accompanies each service in a special way. We use; voice, instrument, drama, video to emphasize worship as a lifestyle. Intentional Discipleship Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I will be with you always, to the very end of the age." Like the first disciples, the members of First Presbyterian Church are following Jesus' command to be disciples and to make disciples.
