The Ministry began about 10 years ago and has continued to grow each year.

All members are requested to attend a beginners' American Sign Language class and continue to grow their proficiency in sign language. We hold regular meetings on the 3rd Saturday of the month. The location and time varies depending on the activity we have planned for the month.

The Music Ministry's mission is to enrich the worship experience with praise and devotion in song. We are the ministry through which the soul and spirit sings to God the Father, Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in devotion and praise with a song. We also assist the congregation in expressing our personal and communal love, adoration, faith, hope, fears, and emotions.

The music ministry helps to set and establish an atmosphere that is conducive to worship. Holy music brings the congregation into the presence of God so that each person can experience the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on a personal level.

The music ministry is an active, participatory, and integral part of the worship service. We are there to assist the worshipers in centering their thoughts upon God. For those who have not surrendered themselves wholeheartedly unto the Lord, it’s to prepare their hearts for the Holy Spirit through the Word of God to minister to them.

Purpose Statement:

The goal of the Women's Chorus is to allow the women of Saint Paul Baptist Church an opportunity to worship the Lord in song and praise.
