Montreat Worship and Music Conference
For more than 30 years, children, youth, and adults from First Pres have attended this annual week-long conference, run by the Presbyterian Association of Musicians (PAM) comprised of 1,200 conferees from Presbyterian churches nationwide. Conferees attend worship, choir, and Bible study, and can choose electives like handbells, orff, dance, or art. The impact of this week at Montreat is far greater than the knowledge gained at the conference.

Our children and youth ministries provide a multi-generational approach of Christian example as the church family comes alongside parents in their special responsibility to lead their children to become fully devoted disciples of Jesus Christ. Christian discipleship takes place in our choirs for all ages, at Bible Study and fellowship time, during family meal times at LOGOS, and away at summer camp. Service is also a key part of First Presbyterian church and the children and youth are involved in a variety of ways, such as participating in worship as acolytes or lay readers, creating and leading a worship service once a year, leading a canned food drive in the February, serving as table runners during our Advent Workshop, and individually being involved in other areas of service in our church.
