Sanctuary Choir About 30-40 members make up this group. The choir performs at every Sunday morning service and also at special church occasions throughout the year. One special occasion is the annual "Hanging of the Green" performance during the Christmas Season. The choir uses music as a witness tool throughout the community as they perform at elderly facilities, charitable events, and special church occasions. Choir literature consists of mostly traditional church music with gospel and praise music. Rehearsals are on Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m. in the Music Suite.
Bell Choir A group of about 12 people make the hand bell choir into a seasonal treat. While most active in the Christmas and Easter seasons, they also accompany the Sanctuary Choir and orchestra for hymns during morning services at various times during the year. Typically the group rehearses once a week during performance season. Check the church calendar for future rehearsal times.
Youth Choir Every year, FBC has a number of talented youth who compose the Youth Choir. The choir will perform on mission trips as well as for Sunday morning and evening services throughout the year. The youth are led by Sherri Barrett and rehearse Sunday evenings from 4:30-5:30 pm. Check the church calendar for the next scheduled rehearsal.
Children's Choir and Music Camp Each Wednesday the children start with a meal at 5:30pm then begin rehearsal at 6pm, The Children's Choir is always a fun group for the kids, and an entertaining group for the congregation. Led by Judy Hope, the kids perform a few times each year for the congregation and at the annual "Hanging of the Green" Christmas program. One week each Summer, the Music Ministry hosts "Music Camp" for children. Go to the children's ministry page to see details on this Summer's Music Camp.
Orchestra This group of musicians perform each Sunday morning, accompanying the Sanctuary Choir in hymns and songs. The group consists of church members and students from Sam Houston State University with all sections of traditional orchestra represented: brass, woodwind, string, and percussion. The orchestra swells for special occasions such as the Easter morning service and the "Hanging of the Green" Christmas program. Rehearsals are each Sunday at 9 a.m. in the Sanctuary.
