Chancel Choir

This choir leads the weekly 10:30 a.m. worship service and provides musical leadership at special services. There is an emphasis on a variety of musical styles so that all may be blessed and experience spiritual renewal.  Yearly musical events include a Service of Lessons and Carols, a Christmas Eve service, a Maundy Thursday service.  Singers and instrumentalists are needed for these events.  These are ideal short term opportunities for those who love music but want a short-term commitment.   Rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 until 8:30 p.m.

​

Handbell Choir

There is an active 3-Octave Handbell Choir comprised of both members of First Baptist Church and other members of the community.  You are invited to join the Handbell Choir if you read music and are available to practice each Sunday afternoon.  The Handbell Choir rings during regular worship services and on  other special occasions.  The Handbell Choir has also rung at a number of special events in the community.
