The Choral Scholars
Rehearsals: Wednesdays, 7:15-8:45 PM
The Choral Scholars ministry offers eight scholarship positions of $1200 ($600 per semester) to area college students for the academic year, including one scholarship for a Music Intern. Stipends are made directly to the Scholars each month in eight equal installments and where necessary, pro-rated. For the academic year, a total of 6 absences from rehearsals and 6 absences from services are permitted. The positions allow students the experience of singing with an accomplished church choir, hopefully fostering a lifelong involvement with church music. Choral Scholars are encouraged to be active in the ongoing life of the church, enjoying the support of a “home away from home” church family. |
Schedule The schedule for the academic year begins the first Wednesday of September through the second Sunday in December. There is a break for Christmas, and rehearsals re-start the second Wednesday of January through the second Sunday of May. For more information, please contact our Interim Worship Leader. | Requirements Choral Scholars must be actively enrolled in a degree program at an area college or university. Scholars become full participating members of the Adult Choir at First Baptist Church. Participation requirements include a weekly rehearsal on Wednesday evenings from 7:15 - 8:45 p.m. and Sunday worship from 10:00 – 12:00 noon. Fellowship luncheons are provided each Wednesday evening and Sunday following worship. |
