Handbell Choirs
First Baptist has a rich tradition in handbell ringing. We have two 5-octave sets of handbells available to our choirs.
The adult handbell choir, Sanctuary Ringers, meets for rehearsal on Sundays at 4:45 p.m. and performs on a regular basis in worship services including the "Sounds of Christmas."
The youth handbell group led by Johnny Glover, Associate Pastor for Worship & Prayer, meets for rehearsal on Sundays at 4:00 p.m. They perform in worship services and during the "Sounds of Christmas" as well as performing during StudentMUSIC tour each summer. They have also performed at Driscoll Children's Hospital during the Christmas season.
Our children ring choir chimes and children's bells in their music portion of Wednesday evening children's choir activities at 6 p.m. They are led by Judy Mellenbruch and Mary K. Fant.
