Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. - Colossians 3:16

The purpose of the Trinity Baptist Church Music and Worship Ministry is to live out this exhortation from Colossians using our God-given musical talents and gifts. The Word of God is the focus of the Music Ministry here at Trinity. God's Word directs, empowers, and strengthens all that we do musically in worship, rehearsals, presentations, and in fellowship.

If you desire to see God's Word move through His people by using your God-given musical gifts, please join us as we serve to live out this scripture at Trinity. We have numerous opportunities for you in the Trinity Baptist Church Music and Worship Ministry . . . Come join us!

Preschool and Children's Choirs

Meets on Wednesday nights (August-May) at 6:00 pm.
For 4 year olds to 6th grade. The children's choirs' curriculum is developed to build cognitive building blocks of Music Education throughout the year and then to develop those skills each year as they progress with their age group. Choir is also a wonderful place for your children to learn how to worship God through music. They sing in church several times during the year and are an inspiring addition to our services as they lead us in worship through scripture and music.

In addition, the group prepares select pieces to play on their own. Players must have achieved a comfortable level of playing proficiency (read music, play in tune). Smaller ensemble groups are often called on to play for services or special events.
