Music Ministries

Billings First Congregational Church is a vibrant community with a long legacy of musical ministry. Our offerings include the Chancel Choir, Handbell Choir, and opportunities for instrumentalists and soloists to share their talents. Whether you're an experienced musician or just love to sing, we invite you to join us in making beautiful music!

Chancel Choir

Join our vibrant choir at BFCC, where we dive into an exciting mix of musical styles, from Classical to Gospel and everything in between! With just a simple commitment of 1.5 hours each week—Wednesdays at 7 p.m.—you can be part of something special. We also have the joy of performing during key seasons like Advent, Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost.


No auditions or prior experience needed—just bring your enthusiasm and a desire to learn! The most important thing is to "make a joyful noise." Come be a part of our musical family and let your voice shine!

 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;

    I will sing praise to my God while I have being.

Psalm 104:33

Handbell Choir

Are you looking for a new musical adventure? We’re on the lookout for enthusiastic ringers to join our Handbell Choir, and we’d love for you to be a part of it! No auditions are needed, so anyone can join in the fun. With just one hour of rehearsal each week—Wednesdays at 6 p.m.—it’s a fantastic way to explore music without a huge time commitment.


Don’t worry if you’re new to handbells—previous experience isn’t required! However, being able to read music is useful. Whether you can play with one bell, both hands, or even juggle two bells in each hand, there’s a spot for you.

Ready to make beautiful music together?
