Recorded Traditional Worship

​Please Note:

Due to COVID-19, Tucker First UMC had to suspend in-person worship in March, 2020. At that point, the worship team began producing pre-recorded worship videos on a weekly basis. Due to this change, we stopped producing our audio-only worship service recordings (see below). In October 2020, we were finally able to return to in-person worship. It was at that time that we not only live-streamed our services but also posted the live-streamed videos on the church YouTube channel. You can view these videos on our Worship Video Page

The most recent recordings of our traditional services are listed below with the most recent service first. The recordings are of the service not just the sermon. At this time we don't include most service music for legal reasons but we want you to be able to enjoy all other aspects of the service. 
All other available recordings can be found on our Archive page.
