Worship at a Glance

Worship at First McKinney is Christ-centered and participatory, with our choir, worship team, and congregation lifting their voices together in praise to Jesus. Sunday worship services are at 9:15 and 10:45 AM, with ASL interpretation available during the 10:45 AM service. Our worship ministry also provides opportunities to serve through music, production, and behind-the-scenes roles.

What Sunday Worship Is Like

Sunday worship at First McKinney is Christ-centered, joyful, and participatory. Our choir, worship team, musicians, and congregation lift their voices together in songs grounded in biblical truth, all with one aim: to point people to Jesus. You’ll also hear practical, verse-by-verse teaching from God’s Word that helps us follow Jesus in everyday life.

Our worship services bring people across generations together to worship Jesus because, while music is a meaningful part of what we do, it is never the focus. Music is great. Jesus is greater.

Want to hear some of the music before you visit? Listen to our First McKinney Spotify playlist to hear many of the songs we sing together during our worship services.

Join us Sundays at 9:15 AM or 10:45 AM, and come dressed however you’re comfortable. ASL interpretation is available during the 10:45 AM service.

Why a Choir, and Why Everyone Sings

At First McKinney, singing is something we do together. Our church choir helps lead the congregation, while voices throughout the room join together in praise during each Worship Service. Colossians 3:16 reminds us that as we sing, we teach and encourage one another with the truth of Christ. That’s why congregational singing matters to us.

The choir, worship team, musicians, and congregation join their voices in praise, not to draw attention to themselves, but to point one another to Jesus. Whether you know every song or are simply listening and taking it in, you are welcome to worship with us.

  • Choir

    Our church choir helps lead the congregation in worship and is open to everyone middle school age and older. No previous training or audition is required. The choir rehearses most Wednesdays during the school year at 6:30 PM.

  • Band & Vocalists

    Vocalists, guitarists, drummers, keyboardists, and other instrumentalists help lead our Sunday worship services. These roles require an audition as we seek to serve God with both heart and skill.

  • Kids & Students

    Our Worship Ministry partners with our Kids and Students ministries throughout the year to encourage and develop the next generation of worshipers. Kids and Students with a desire and gifting to lead others musically are invited to learn more.

  • Audio & Video

    Worship takes a team beyond the platform. If you have experience with audio, video, lighting, or production, or would like to learn, we can help you find a place to serve.

  • Behind the Scenes

    Creativity, woodworking, decorating, preparation, and a willingness to help all contribute to the Worship Ministry. If you enjoy serving behind the scenes, there is a place for you, too.

Worship as a Way of Life

Worship God is the first movement of the Discipleship Pathway at First McKinney because following Jesus begins with knowing, loving, and honoring Him. Sunday worship is an important part of that, but worship doesn’t end when the service does. A life of worship means honoring God throughout the week in the way we pray, spend time in His Word, work, serve, love others, and live in response to who He is.

As we gather on Sundays to sing, pray, hear God’s Word, and worship together, we are reminded of the truth we carry with us into the rest of the week.
