For nearly four decades, Kentucky Baptist women have joined their voices in worship and ministry through the Kentucky Baptist Women’s Chorale.
The Kentucky Baptist Women’s Chorale was formed in 1988. The objective and purpose of the group is to encourage personal and professional improvement, Christian fellowship, ministry, outreach, and spiritual growth through music. As a para organization of the Kentucky Baptist Convention, the membership of the Kentucky Baptist Women’s Chorale is composed, largely, of women from Kentucky Baptist Churches who are active in the music ministry of their churches.
Jennifer Bersaglia from Grace Baptist Church, Somerset, will be serving as our conductor again this season, and Priscila Dickson from Lebanon Baptist Church will will serve as our accompanist.
For more than six decades, the Kentucky Baptist Men’s Chorale has used music as a ministry—serving churches, encouraging believers, and taking the gospel around the world.
This all-male chorus was formed in 1965 by Kentucky Baptists’ first state music director, Eugene Quinn. It has a musical and spiritual legacy from hundreds of music ministers.
The chorale has appeared before the Southern Baptist Church Music Conference, Church Music Week at Lifeway’s Ridgecrest Conference Center, and at Musicians on Mission workshops in Ohio and Massachusetts. The group also has toured in Europe and served on mission in New England, Kenya, Brazil, and Russia. In 2015, the chorale spent a week in the rainforests of Brazil doing missions work and performing.
WIND ORCHESTRA
The Kentucky Baptist Wind Orchestra is comprised of ministers of music and instrumentalists from Kentucky Baptist churches. This group was organized to promote and model the use of instrumental ensembles in the local church. The ensemble rehearses and performs in conjunction with the Kentucky Baptist Men’s and Women’s Chorales.
