First Presbyterian Church Arts Program Meets Community Needs

Aug. 28, 2012 - PRLog -- Mount Clemens, MI August 10, 2012, First Presbyterian Church of Mount Clemens Arts Academy brings hope to the community. The Arts Academy includes music and voice lessons for a wide array of age groups. Meeting the needs of the community and providing programs and services hard to find elsewhere has become a primary objective for First Presbyterian Church of Mount Clemens, a progressive ministry sharing both the Word of God and love to all. The music teacher’s “meet and greet” open house allows the community a chance to meet the teachers and learn more about the program first hand. The “meet and greet” scheduled for Wednesday, August 29, 2012 from 6:00-9:00pm is a phenomenal way of allowing the community to see for how great a program this is.
The Arts Academy led by 1st Presbyterian Church of Mount Clemens member and arts administrator, Jeanie Kirkum, and resourced by Resource Advisor, Pastor Roxie Davis, is gaining much attention. With the help of other church members The Arts Academy is touching the lives of students throughout the community. “Many schools have eliminated or drastically reduced the music programs due to budget cuts, we want to provide the opportunities because we understand the importance of such programs. Our hope as a church is that the Arts Academy will help children, youth, and adults appreciate the arts in an atmosphere of Christian values and love” says Jeanie Kirkum. With classes in Organ, Piano, Voice, Strings, Brass, Woodwinds, Show Choir (ages 8-14)  and Mini Music (ages 4-7,)  taught by talented music instructors with the bonus of  ample parking, spacious rooms for lessons, convenient hours and instructions available for preschoolers to adults, the program encompasses everything needed for huge success. From individual, group, and show choir lessons there is something for everyone including Mini Music which offers lessons for children ages 4-7.

The students have a platform to showcase their musical abilities during recitals, events and worship services. First Presbyterian Church has taken an aggressive approach to meeting the needs of the community as well as bringing community awareness. First Presbyterian Church of Mount Clemens, visitors come as a guest and leave as family.  There are people who are new to the family and others who have been a part of First Presbyterian Church for more than 50 years with families of diverse sizes, colors and shapes.  Everyone is worth knowing because each one is known by God and is His precious child.  Each of us has a personal history, talents and dreams that we bring to this family.
