The Music Ministry |
|
 "...Sing and make
music in your
heart to the Lord."
(Ephesians 5:19)
|
|
The
Music Ministry is an especially vibrant part of First Baptist Church.
From Children's Choirs to the Sanctuary Choir, you can find a place to
serve God by singing his praises with others. If your interest is in an
ensemble or as a soloist there are many opportunities available to you.
Musical dramas and pageants by our choirs are featured during the Easter
and Christmas seasons. Other special choir performances and concerts
by well known Christian artists are church favorites.
