Music
The eclectic style of music at South Shore Baptist Church focuses on the glory of God and highlights songs emphasizing theologically rich text and singable melodies. The passion of this ministry is to build a sustainable worship culture by intentionally developing musical skills and hearts for worship beginning at an early age.
Below you will find a listing and information about specific opportunities to participate in the musical piece of the worship ministry. If you are interested in taking part, please fill out the Worship Leadership Interview Form, and submit to Jennifer Boel at jennifer@southshorebaptist.com

Children’s Choir
The current Children’s Choir, available to students in grades 1 – 5, was launched in 2005. The group meets regularly throughout the school months on Sundays during the 8:30 am Children’s Church time in Room 21. In addition to learning songs, the children are being fostered in their faith and are given the opportunity to sing in worship services and additional events.
Other Children’s Music
Occasionally volunteers prepare our Little Lambs and Kindergarten age students to sing for a worship service or special program.
Youth Choir
The Youth Choir, established in 2006 to provide a track in which students could progress out of Children’s Choir, is currently open to students in grades 6 – 9. This Choir rehearses on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 pm – 6:20 pm in the Sanctuary. The goal of this choir is to cultivate musical skills and to nurture hearts to worship and lead in worship. Opportunities are given for the Youth Choir to sing in worship services, special events, and in the community.
Adult Choir
The adult Choir is an established, seasoned ministry of SSBC. In addition to reinforcing musical skills and rehearsing the choral repertoire, there is a continued emphasis in the Choir family on developing a heart prepared for worship. The Choir meets weekly from late September through early May. Rehearsals are on Wednesday nights from 7:15 pm – 8:45 pm in the Sanctuary. The Choir sings regularly on Sundays for the 11:00 am service and occasionally for the 8:30 am service.
Adult Praise Teams
The Praise teams consist of vocalists and various instrumental combinations that lead both our 8:30 am and 11: 00 am worship services. It is not the role of the Praise Teams to simply sing and play songs, nor does the team exist to entertain the congregation. It is the role of the Praise Team to assist the congregation through the medium of music, to worship God.
