Music
Ministries at Madison Heights Baptist Church
The music ministries
at Madison Heights Baptist Church have traditionally been strong.
There is a place for all musicians ages 2 to 102 and beyond. The emphasis
of these choirs is on using the talents we have been given to collectively
magnify and glorify the name of the Lord. In addition, we have many
soloists, ensembles, and instrumentalists that add to our worship
and witness in Madison Heights. New musicians are welcome to join
the ministry at any time!
2 & 3 Year
Old Choir - This choir offers toddlers the chance to learn
that they can praise God. It also provides a time to socialize and
make friends with other toddlers. This choir meets on Wednesday
evenings from 6:30- 7:25 pm.
Preschool Choir
- A continuation of the 2 & 3 Year Old Choir, this group of
preschoolers use their voices, their bodies, and instruments to
learn to praise God at church, at home, and with their friends.
This choir meets on Wednesday evenings from 6:30- 7:25 pm.
Children's Choir
- Involving 1st through 5th graders, this choir learns two musicals
a year (one for Christmas and one for Spring) that teach biblical
truths about the nature of God as well as some music theory. This
choir also sings for worship several times a year.
Rehearsals are on Wednesdays from 6:30-7:25 pm.
Praise Ringers
- This is a choir for developing handbell ringers. For
youth in grades 6 through 12, members of this choir learn to ring
handbells and mature in their ringing skills. The Praise Ringers
play for worship services on occasion as well as for special
programs. They meet on Sunday evenings from 5:00-5:45 pm.
Heights of Praise
- All youth in grades 6 through 12 are invited to sing in this choir
as we continue to develop an understanding of God and what He requires
of us as followers. This choir presents several special programs
to the congregation throughout the year, leads in morning worship
services on occasion, and travels on mission trips every couple
of years. The Heights of Praise Choir rehearses on Sunday evenings
from 5:45-6:30 pm.
The Koinonias - If you are a senior adult who wants
to make a difference in the lives of others in Central Virginia,
then this is the choir for you. This group of active seniors uses
tone chimes to prepare and present a program of "oldies"
(sacred and secular) to nursing homes, assisted living centers,
and various church groups, senior groups and civic organizations
throughout the year. Members do not need to be able to read music
- the only requirement is a love for spreading happiness, cheer,
and the Good News to others.
This choir meets on Tuesday mornings at 10:00 am.
Sanctuary Bell

works to provide special music for worship services throughout the
year. This choir also presents several concerts around the community
during the year. They meet on Thursday evenings from 6:30-7:30 pm.
Greater Heights
- This choir is an auditioned vocal ensemble drawn from the Chancel
Choir. Presenting music for morning worship several times throughout
the year, this choir prepares music with a contemporary flavor.

Chancel Choir
- This choir is the primary worship leader at Madison Heights Baptist
Church. This choir is open to all adults who feel called to minister
to the Lord and His people through the powerful medium of music.
In addition to regularly leading in worship, this choir presents
several cantatas each year, works with other church choirs to present
massed choir programs, and leads in worship at other churches when
invited. Meeting on Thursday evenings from 7:30-8:45 pm, new members
are welcome at any time. |
