First Presbyterian Church of Wellsboro is seeking a Keyboardist to help lead our congregation in joyful, reverent worship.

Services include Scripture readings, congregational and choral singing, corporate prayers of adoration and confession, an invitation to give with a prayer of dedication, prayers of the people, and preaching from the Bible. Our worship is thoughtfully ordered for gospel formation – traditional without being rigid and designed to lead God’s people to follow Christ.
