Music & Worship

“Sing to Him, Sing praise to Him; tell of all His wonderful acts.” ~I Chronicles 16:9

The Music Ministry is a vital part of our worship experience each week! Whether you play an instrument, sing, or have technical experience, come join us as we praise God for His wonderful deeds!

Children’s Choirs

We have three choirs, including:

  • Preschool Choir – Under the direction of Kathy Reaves
  • 1st through 5th grade Choir – Under the direction of Ken Patterson.

We utilize volunteers to help with transportation, snacks, and assisting the choir directors.

The Sanctuary Choir

This choir leads our 10:30 a.m. worship service on Sunday mornings. Rehearsal is held at 7:00 p.m. each Wednesday in the Music Suite. This choir is open to anyone with a heart for worship and a love for praising God through song. If you love to sing a variety of music styles in praise of the Lord, our choir is for you!

The Praise Team

Praise Team members are the worship leaders in our 8:15 a.m. Contemporary Worship Service each Sunday morning. Rehearsals are Wednesday nights at 8:00 p.m. in the FBC Sanctuary.

The Youth Choir

The Youth Choir begins each year in September and meets during the school year. Rehearsals are held Sunday afternoons as scheduled in the Choir Room.

FBC Pickers

The FBC Pickers meet each Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. for a bluegrass gospel jam session.

The Tech Team

The technical team supports the worship ministry of our church by operating the soundboard and PowerPoint. PowerPoint is the computer program we use for projecting song lyrics and other images used to enhance the worship experience for our church. If you have skills in this area or would like to be trained to operate this equipment, please contact the Music Ministry Office at (256) 582-5141.

Looking Forward

We are looking for a few good players willing to use their skills for God’s glory during the 10:30 a.m. service! If you play a musical instrument such as horns, percussion, woodwinds, and strings and would like to participate please contact the church Music Ministry Office at 256-582-5141 or via email at kpatterson@gvillefbc.org.
