Music Ministries

In our traditional service, you will find our Sanctuary Choir, Handbell Ensemble, Youth Choir, and Kids Choir.

In our contemporary service, you’ll find some of the area’s finest musicians. Our praise team leads us in a variety of musical styles and are always bringing us the latest quality praise music.

If you are looking for a place to fit in at First Rowlett, we are happy to provide you and your family many opportunities to use your talents for glorifying God. Feel free to contact Don Shelley about how you can be involved in the worship life of our church.

  • Sanctuary Choir

    Under the direction of Don Shelley and accompanied by Sandy Shelley, the choir helps lead worship in the 9 a.m. traditional service. You do not have to read music or audition to participate - all are welcome. We rehearse on Wednesday evenings from 7 - 8:30 p.m. and laugh a lot, while lifting each one another up as a ministry. On Sunday mornings, we leave the choir loft after singing to attend worship with our families.   

  • Handbell Ensemble

    If you have experience ringing and are an excellent sight reader, we would love to have you a part of this fine group of ringers as a substitute or regular member. Directed by Don Shelley, this talented group plays in worship several times per year. A variety of styles of worship music using our five-octave Malmark handbells and 3-octave Tone Chimes.

  • Youth Choir

    Middle and high school students provide a special worship experience at both the traditional and contemporary services. Under the direction of Nancy Farrell, this energetic group sings several times throughout the school year and concludes with an out-of-town tour where they bring the light and love of Jesus Christ to assisted living and memory care facilities. No audition required, just the desire to make a joyful noise.

  • Kids Choir

    Under the direction of Breelyn Zimmer, our children’s choirs have grown to be a favorite ensemble in all our worship services. The choir is open to all children 4 years – 5th grade. They sing throughout the school year.

  • Contemporary Praise Team

    Featuring both professional and non-professional musicians, they lead the church members in our 11:15 am contemporary service. The praise team leads us with the best of contemporary music and worship. Together, they find unique ways to bring the gospel to life through song. This is an auditioned ensemble. Contact Don Shelley for more information.

  • Youth Praise Band

    All youth grades 7-12 are encouraged to be involved in this outstanding young group of musicians. They are the primary worship leaders for our Sunday evening worship in The Lighthouse. They also occasionally help lead worship in both traditional and contemporary worship on Sunday mornings.
