The Sanctuary Choir
The Sanctuary Choir at First Baptist consists of dedicated individuals who desire that the music prepared for worship not be a performance, but an integral part of the Worship Experience. The choir meets each Wednesday at 7:30 pm for rehearsal.
At the repeated requests of Church Members the Choir has recorded two (2) cassette tapes, An Expression of Gratitude and Give Me Jesus. These cassettes are available from the Church Office.
If you would like to become a part of the Sanctuary Choir, Handbell Choir or the Music Ministry in any other way, please contact Minister of Music Kay Ellerman.

Adult Handbell Choir
The Adult Handbell Choir participates in worship several times a year. One young mother recently commented that the Handbell Choir provides an opportunity for her to be involved in a musical experience with other adults at a time when her children are involved in mission groups. The choir meets in the Choir Suite on Sundays at 6:30 pm.
