Music Ministry

The Music Ministry philosophy of First Baptist Athens is to best use our talents in ways that offer praise to God. We provide opportunities for everyone to participate in making worship music of many styles through choirs for all age groups, an adult handbell choir, vocal soloists and instrumentalists of all types. In addition to worship, the many musical talents at First Baptist are used in concerts, festivals, musicals, and special fellowships within and outside the church.

Sanctuary Choir

Our Sanctuary Choir is the primary worship choir of the 11:00 AM service. The Sanctuary Choir sings a variety of church music from the early masters to music by the outstanding composers of today and presents special music for Christmas, Advent, Lent, and Easter. The Sanctuary Choir rehearses Wednesdays at 7:00PM.
