Philosophy of Church Music - We believe that music is to be used as an instrument to exalt and lift up Christ Jesus.  We also believe that music can be used as an instrument of outreach to those who do not know Christ as Savior, to encourage, inspire, and lift up the worshipper.  Although our rehearsals are geared to making our music as technically correct as possible, it is the words that are the most important aspect of our music.  We try to insure that all of the music that is presented in our worship services is doctrinally sound.  Therefore, we choose our music very carefully based upon the text, and secondarily the music style. If you wanted to classify our worship services, they would probably be classified as being blended with strong traditional leanings. 
The music program at Adamsville First Baptist currently offers a children's and pre-school choir, adult choir, youth praise band, contemporary music group and adult handbells. We are constantly seeking God's guidance in offering additional instrumental and vocally ensembles. If you would like more information or have helpful comments, please contact the church or E-mail me.
In Christ's Hands,
