Music Ministry
Psalm 92:1 says, It is good to praise the Lord and make music
to Your name, O Most High. Here at First Baptist we enjoy uplifting,
Spirit-filled praise in our Worship Gatherings as well as a time for more
personal, reflective vertical worship. Our musical style blends favorite hymns
with modern praise and worship songs culminating in a semi-contemporary format
that offers something for nearly every musical taste.
| Chancel Choir |
| The Chancel Choir is the
backbone of the music program at FBC and sings each Sunday morning. For
our Christmas, Easter and Festival of Freedom concerts, an orchestra is
hired to accompany our productions. This choir is open to all Senior High
youth and adults. Our weekly rehearsal is Sundays from 6:00-7:30. No
audition required. Daycare and Awana is provided for the children during
this time. |

What the Chancel Choir is Doing Now
- This
past Christmas we celebrated with our 2nd Annual “Hanging of
the Green” Service and two performances of the Victorian Christmas
Musical “Merry Christmas.”
The Chancel Choir will
soon have our Summer Christmas Party to kick-off the Christmas Musical.
This Christmas the Chancel Choir will join with Echo Christ Youth Choir
to celebrate the 3rd Annual Hanging of the Green service. “Sing We Now
of Christmas” will be the collection of music that will set the stage
for the Greening of Christmas. Anyone is welcomed to join us on Sunday

Youth Choir
Echo Christ is the name we have chosen for the Youth Choir. As
Christians our lives should echo what Christ has taught us. The
Youth Choir practices on Sunday at 5:00 in the Sanctuary. This
choir is for 7th through 12th graders. One
Sunday a month the Youth Choir leads in worship for “Big Church”
when the choir sings, the youth praise band plays, present a drama
or skit, and one youth sings a solo. |

What The Youth Are Doing Now-
We have made plans to go back to Branson on another mission-choir
trip, July 8th-14th. This year we are
working on a musical variety show instead of a published musical.
The Variety Show will be made up of Skits, Songs, and Testimonies.
We will also conduct Backyard Bible Clubs in various campgrounds in
Branson. |

grade through the 6th grade. The children’s choir sings on the
first Sunday of each month. They sing one anthem and the Hymn of
the Month. The Kidz ring 4 octaves of Handchimes. This training

the Youth department. The Children’s Choirs will focus on Christmas
and spring musicals. |
