Youth Choirs

Youth Choirs The goal of the youth choir program at First Pres is to give youth the opportunity to worship, grow, and serve through music. The program runs from September to May. Registration takes place each fall, but kids can join at any time; simply come to a rehearsal! For more information, contact Mitchell Covington at (510) 848-6252 ext. 235 or at mitchellc@fpcberkeley.org. For volunteer opportunities in our youth choirs, please click here.
