Scholarship Musicians

As a part of our music ministry, First Baptist is grateful to have “scholarship musicians” that are an integral parts of our worship teams. These paid positions are help by college students, many of whom are seeking degrees in music. Scholarship Singers serve as section leaders in our Chancel Choir and Scholarship Players provide musical leadership in our praise band.

Below is a link to the video of the Scholarship Singer's Reunion Concert on Aug.18 2018.

Arts

First Baptist Church is intentional in developing services that help our congregation experience God in new ways. We seek to revitalize worship by enhancing liturgical worship themes and incorporating visual artistic creations such as colors, fabrics, symbols, banners and plants.

Odyssey Chamber Music

The Odyssey Chamber Music Series consists of six to seven concerts a year that focus on classical chamber music with an emphasis on highlighting different styles and genres. 

The series premiered in 2004 as an outreach of First Baptist Church of Columbia. Our associate pastor for music and administration, teamed up with Ayako Tsuruta, artistic director for Odyssey, to create the series with the mission of glorifying God while developing community through the arts.
