Choral Scholars Program
The purpose of the Choral Scholar program at First Baptist Church is to provide area college students with the opportunity to gain experience and training in church music while providing them a church home and a loving, supportive community to minister to them while they live in Winston-Salem. Each student will receive a stipend for singing in the Sanctuary Choir and for serving as section leaders. These scholars will be responsible for knowing all service music with acute accuracy, leading sectional rehearsals, and occasionally providing solo music throughout the liturgical year.
