The Sanctuary Choir of First Presbyterian Church, Charlotte NC is the flagship ensemble of the music ministry. We lead the congregation in song each Sunday for worship, offering music that reflects the depth of our faith and the joy of our community. Rooted in a tradition of excellence and guided by a shared calling, we strive to glorify God and share the love of Christ in every note we sing. Our repertoire includes a wide range of styles representing sacred works from across the centuries, and our goal is to enhance the experience of all who join us in worship. We’re more than a choir; we’re a family.
