Worship and Arts
Worship is one of our priorities, and this is a ministry that is continually growing and changing. Our chosen style of worship is to connect what God has done with what God is doing. Therefore we use a blend of traditional Christian music with current, modern songs. As we seek to incorporate and engage everyone in worship, we utilize various avenues for people to express their love to God.
The worship teams consist of musicians and singers who rotate their ministry and involvement based upon their own ability and the church needs.
Our Adult Choir is open to teenagers and up. It is a great place to not only worship the Lord together, but to also develop voice and technical skills. Our choir sings in church periodically, sometimes performing a special selection, and sometimes accompanying the worship music.
The Creative Arts Team seeks to utilize drama, video, dramatic reading, stage sets, and other art forms to draw attention to Christ and/or what He has done for us.
Our Children's Choir is 40+ in attendance and growing each week! They perform in church throughout the school year, participate in our special events, and also put on children's musicals.

Children’s Choir rehearsals resume this Wednesday, January 7 from 7pm - 8pm. We will be working on a mini-musical entitled “Heaven’s Kitchen.” It’s a musical about praising God no matter the circumstances and includes four very fun songs–my kids can’t stop singing them! We will be using a CD and book to learn this musical. The book has been purchased by the church, but the CD will need to be purchased by each family in order to take one home. The CD is $5. You will only need 1 per family, and you get to keep the CD. There are actually 3 mini-musicals on this CD that we will be using in the coming months.

Here are some recordings of the BRBC Children’s Choir performance at church on October 19. The choir did a fantastic job! The song that the seniors sang, “Come, Christians, Join to Sing” was arranged for them by Christy Shipe (original lyrics: Christian H. Bateman; traditional Spanish melody; new lyrics & melody: Christy Shipe) and the accompaniment track was performed and recorded by Tom Gossage and Christy Shipe. Thanks to all who worked to make this song a unique performance at Blue Ridge Bible Church!
The song that the whole choir sang, “By Faith,” was written by Dan Whittemore, arranged by Joseph Linn, and published by Lillenas Publishing, Co. Special thanks to Katie Gicker for live accompaniment on piano!
