Music Ministry
The music ministry of
Trinity Baptist Church invites you to
become an integral part in one of the most rewarding ministries of our
church. We encourage you to become a part of our music ministry by
joining one of these choirs.
Chancel Choir
Everyone,
college-aged to adult, is invited to join the Chancel Choir for
rehearsal on Wednesday evenings, 7:30-9:00 p.m. This choir is not a
professional group but is composed of persons who are willing to
dedicate time and talent through service to God. Charged with a large
leadership responsibility, its members are expected to meet rehearsal
and performance requirements. A wide variety of musical styles ranging
from traditional athems to comtemporary worship are performed. In
addition to leading in worship each Sunday morning, major performances
are given throughout the year. Although the demands on this choir are
great, the rewards from serving Christ by singing in Chancel Choir make
the extra effort worthwhile.
Joyful Ringers Handbell Ensemble
Everyone
is invited to join our handbell ensemble for rehearsal on Wednesday
evenings (August-May), from 5:00-6:00 p.m. More than any other musical
ensemble, our handbell ensemble depends on each individual not only for
the discipline of good ringing skills, but devoted commitment in
attendance. We ring a variety of musical styles and perform frequently
in the morning worship and for community activities.
Pre-School Choir
This
choir for ages 3-5 meets on Wednesday evenings (August-May), from
6:40-7:15 p.m. The main purpose of this choir is to give our children
their first formal experience with music.
Music Makers Choir
Children,
first-third grade, meet for Music Makers on Wednesdays (August-May),
6:40-7:15 p.m. This choir helps our children develop and express
themselves musically. Our teachers work with the children to formulate
musical concepts (melody, harmony, expression, form and tone) through
the use of listening activities, singing, body movement, and playing
instruments. Speritual concepts are formed as they learn how music is a
means of worship and of expressing to others in song the message of
Jesus.
Young Musicians' Choir
This exciting young
choir, for
third-sixth graders, is already becoming one of the most successful
units of our music ministry. Young Musicians' Choir meets on Wednesdays
(August-May) from 6:40-7:15 p.m. Training in music theory and
general musicianship comes in conjustion with music prepared for
performance. The group learns the fundamentals of two- to three-part
singing, which prepares them for future development in other choirs.
Boys and girls in the Young Musicians' Choir have the opportunity to
participate in several "special" activities (such as MusiCamp). They
provide leadership in worship from time to time.
