One Community, Many Voices.In-Person and Online Worship
Summer Worship at 10:00 AM ☀️
This summer, we’re bringing our church family together for one combined worship service at 10:00 am—blending the best of both of our beloved Sunday experiences into one meaningful time of worship.
Whether you love the fresh, dynamic energy of contemporary music or the rich beauty of traditional worship, this summer service will offer a welcoming mix of both—rooted in connection, inspiring music, and spiritual growth for all ages.
Expect a meaningful worship experience featuring a variety of musical styles, heartfelt prayer, scripture, and opportunities for all generations to participate. On the first Sunday of each month, we’ll celebrate Communion together, with kids and youth helping lead in worship.
Join us in person or via livestream—wherever you are, there’s a place for you here. We’d love to worship with you this summer!

Hope for All Creation
Scripture: Mark 16:1-15 | Psalm 96:1-2, 11-13
Hope changes everything. God’s promise of renewal is not just for individuals—it is good news for all creation. The skies, the seas, the earth itself join in the song of hope. As we begin this series, we’ll celebrate the life-giving promise of God that brings joy, renewal, and possibility to the whole world.
June 7 – July 5
As the world around us bursts with color, growth, and renewed life, we’re reminded that God is always at work making things new. But renewal is bigger than our individual spiritual journeys—it reaches into every corner of creation.
From the beauty of the natural world to the challenges facing our communities and environment, scripture invites us to see God’s love and purpose woven through it all.
You are invited to experience this inspiring worship series as we explore what it means to live as people of hope, wonder, and faithful care in God’s ever-renewing world.
Music Ministry
Music Ministry at Chelsea First
At Chelsea First, music is a vital part of how we worship, grow, and serve. Our Music Ministry invites people of all ages to share their gifts in a variety of styles—traditional hymns, anthems, gospel, contemporary praise, and more—all offered to glorify God and inspire our community. As Colossians 3:16 reminds us: “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly… with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with gratitude in your hearts to God.”
Sanctuary Choir
The Sanctuary Choir leads worship at the 11 am service from September–May and sings for special events such as Hometown Holidays and Christmas Eve.
