The
Music Ministry of First Baptist Church is a strong and vital part
of our church. Music enhances opportunities for worship and helps
our congregation learn more about God through his son, Jesus Christ.
At First Baptist Church, there are opportunities for all ages to participate
in music.
We use a variety of instruments during worship. In every service
we use the organ and piano. We use a brass ensemble for special
occasions such as Homecoming and Easter, and we use a string ensemble
during the year, as well. We have also used a small orchestra for
special events during Christmas. A number of members at the church
play musical instruments ranging from strings and wood wind to percussion
and voice.
Preschool Choir
This choir consist of children ages 2-5. We at First Baptist Church
feel that it is important to introduce children in our church to
music at an early age. The musical content is mainly children's
Christian songs. This choir usually sings in worship once a quarter.
Young Disciples
This choir consists of children grades 1-6. Again, children learning
music in the church is vital to spiritual growth. The Young Disciples
use traditional and contemporary music in worship once a quarter
and give a more lengthy program at Christmas.
Sanctuary Choir
A mixed ensemble in both voice and age. Ranging from youth to senior
adults. The Sanctuary Choir is the primary choir for worship, providing
anthems, responses, offertories, calls to worship, and benedictions.
We also prepare a Christmas musical during the fall months. Using
a wide variety of musical content and talent this choir is a great
ministry and worship tool!
Senior Adult Choir
Made up of our members 55 and over this choir provides music throughout
the year and presents their own musical in May. The music is concentrated
on older hymns and arrangements not found in our current hymnals.
Handbell Choir
Enjoy music? Want to help worship Christ through a creative
outlet? Come be a part of the FBC Handbell Choir! This
choir is made up of all ages in the church - kids to adults.
We meet every Sunday night from 7-8 PM. |
