Adult Choir
A love of Almighty God and a heart for worship are the most important requirements for membership in this group. As primary worship leaders for the corporate Body of Christ, this group meets out of a sense of calling and giftedness to serve the church. Not only leading in worship each week on Sunday mornings, this group prepares for special events at Christmas and Easter as well as other presentations throughout the year. No audition is necessary nor is the ability to read music, but an ability to sing on pitch expected.
Praise Team
Membership in this area of ministry is by audition only. Members of the Praise Team are active members of the Adult Choir. A true servant's heart and willingness to yield to one another are required. An ability to blend their voices and learn music quickly is expected. Most importantly, a continued development of God's leadership in their lives must be evident.
Celebration Orchestra
The orchestra plays regularly for the 11:00 AM Sunday morning worship service and is open to anyone in high school or older. A minimum of two years playing experience is recommended. Playing for congregational accompaniment to special pieces for preludes and offertories, this developing ministry is open to new members.
Celebration Singers
If you have received an invitation to join AARP, you are eligible to sing with this dynamic group of adults who meet for music and fellowship. Originally organized in 1985, this choir has been ministering for over 30 years in local Nursing Homes and Retirement Clubs, participating in the annual TX Baptist Senior Adult Music Festival, singing for worship at First Baptist Church and participating in other mission events. A servant spirit and a desire to make a joyful noise unto the Lord, as well as the desire for fellowship, are all that is needed!
Update on other Music Ministry Organizations:
Temple Ringers, Voices In Praise (our student choir), and all Children's Choirs have been suspended since the fire. It is our hope and prayer that we will be able to begin these ministries again in the future.
