Music Ministry

     Music is an important part of RFBC.  We use piano and organ, sing the great hymns of the faith, use preludes and postludes and choir anthems.  The music is designed to aid in the entire flow of service toward the worship of God.

Music Lessons

     If you have ever wanted to learn, improve or expand your music, here’s an opportunity for you. Jim Bailiff provides 30 minute music lessons on Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Thursdays from 1 to 7:30 p.m.   You may come as a group or individually and there is no charge to you except that you prepare the assignments and you use your talents somehow in a choir, a solo, or as an outreach for the Lord through First Baptist. Call the church office at 706-935-2358 to sign-up.
