Those involved in the Music Ministry
of Gadsden's First Baptist Church seek to provide an
atmosphere of praise and celebration that will encourage hearts that
worship God. We place a high priority on the music of worship, from
congregational singing, to children's choirs, to large-scale
seasonal productions.
There are opportunities of service and musical training from
preschoolers to senior adults. Musical groups include Sanctuary
Choir, Adult Ensemble, Youth Choir, Senior Adult Choir, and two
Handbell choirs. The Graded Choir Program includes preschoolers and
school age children. There are many soloists, trios, and quartets
that share their gifts in worship. These groups are non-auditioned
groups and the beginning musician is encouraged to come learn and
serve.
We wish to extend an invitation to you to join the members of First
Baptist Church and use the gifts that God has given you. If you can
sing, come give us a try!
