BELLA VISTA BAPTIST CHURCH
Ministry Overview
Bella Vista Baptist Church in Bella Vista, Arkansas desires to lead generations to passionately follow Christ in Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri. We are looking for an Part-Time Director of Music to join us in our mission. If after reading the following information you are interested in serving at BVBC, we welcome you to send us your resume. If you have questions, please email Pastor Brent Summerhill. You can view our worship here.
What is music ministry like at BVBC?
Currently, worship is led by a praise team and instrumentalists with a choir that sings twice a month. As of now, rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings [choir 6PM; praise team 7:15PM]. We have one weekend worship on Sundays at 10:30AM.
While without a paid Director of Music, our pastor and pianist have been selecting the congregational music and, until recently, a retired music director in the church has led the choir.
We want to sing songs that are theologically rich and singable for our congregation. As a result, we sing a blend of old and new music. Our people have especially come to appreciate music from the Gettys, City Alight, the Worship Initiative, and others, along with new arrangements of treasured old hymns.
