Choirs

Adult Choir

The First Madison Adult Choir is one of the key parts of our church. The Adult Choir is a consistent group of faces that visitors see each week leading and praising God from the choir loft.

At First Madison, we consider our Adult Choir to be not only choir members, but leaders in worship. Such expectations reach beyond Sunday mornings to all across our lives and to affect those within our sphere of influence. The Adult Choir sings a choir anthem or praise song most every Sunday. Regardless of whether we sing a special song, or simply lead others in worship, the job that we do in leading worship is a key aspect to worship at First Baptist.

Our Adult Choir rehearses from 6:00 until 7:30 on Wednesday evenings in the Choir Suite located directly below the stage of the sanctuary. During rehearsal, we work on several songs for upcoming Sundays and on music for special events within our church. We also have a devotional by a choir member and prayer time during rehearsal each week. Childcare and children’s programs are provided during most Adult Choir rehearsals.

The Adult Choir sings each Sunday in all three worship services. The question always arises about singing in three services. Our church always appreciates those persons who are able to sing in two of the three services. However, one must look at their own schedule and family situation to assess what they can do in terms of which service they sing. While we would love to have everyone sing in the services, we understand that there are always limitations in everyone’s personal schedule.

If you are interested in serving in the Adult Choir, please come and visit one of our rehearsals. You will be welcomed with open arms by the choir, Choir Officers, and the Music staff. No audition or interview is required. If you have any questions, feel free to call the music office at 601.812.8361, ext. 213, or email tdeyton@fbcmadison.org.

Senior Adult Choir

The Silver Threads is the name given to our Senior Adult Choir at First Madison. They rehearse weekly through the school year on Wednesday mornings at 11:00am Under the direction of Mrs. Judy Hutchinson, the Silver Threads provide our Sunday evening choir and special music at least once per month. In addition, they sing at local nursing homes, hospitals and other venues where they represent Christ and our church so well. If you are interested in singing in the Silver Threads and are 55 or over, please call the Music Ministry office at 601.812.8361, ext. 205, or email Judy Hutchinson at jhutchinson3@comcast.net. The Silver Threads meet throughout the school year, and take the summers off.
