A Cappella Singers

Aside from the Sanctuary Choir (adults), this group probably lays claim to the greatest ongoing longevity of any other adult vocal unit at First Baptist Church. Founded by organist Lynne Lauderdale initially as the Chapel Singers , they adopted their current name, A Cappella Singers , in 1987.

Their founder continued directing them as long as schedules would allow. At the point when Lynne had to give up being their director, another legendary figure within the Music Ministry and First Baptist Church, Olivia Swaine, quickly assumed the role as their new director. Not a beat was skipped!

The membership of the Singers is determined by auditions, and to be eligible to audition, one must be a member in good standing of our Sanctuary Choir . Rehearsal time for the Singers is each Wednesday evening from 5:45-6:40, with Sanctuary Choir rehearsal immediately following.

On the average, the Singers share service responsibilities approximately once per month in the Mid-Morning Service. They also participate in season special programs.

Anyone interested in becoming a part of the A Cappella Singers needs first to become active in the Sanctuary Choir, then simply speak with Olivia Swaine about your interest.
