Sanctuary Choir

Dr. Kely Hatley, director 

The Sanctuary Choir provides leadership and music for the 9 a.m. worship service each week. Membership is open to ages 18 and up. We sing a variety of literature ranging from spirituals, to hymn arrangements, to classical anthems. Our rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings from 7:15-8:45 p.m. in the Choir Suite. No audition is required, but some knowledge of music and its workings would be helpful to you.

Mellow Brook Singers

Dr. Kely Hatley, director 

The Mellow Brook Singers is a choir for our adults age 55 and up. The primary ministry of this group is to learn music to take outside the walls of our church into our community by singing at nursing homes and assisted living centers. The choir does sing for our worship services twice a year (once in the fall and once in the spring). We take a spring trip as well, much like a small mini-choir tour. Membership is open to anyone above age 55 and no previous choral experience is required. We just enjoy singing about the Lord and sharing that joy with others. Rehearsals are from September through May each year on Thursdays from 10:30-11:30 a.m. in Hudson Hall.

MBBC Praise Band

Micaiah Kelly, leader

Our praise band is responsible for the congregational music at our 11 a.m. Worship Service. The present instrumentation used at this service is acoustic guitar, electric lead, bass, keyboard, and drums. If you have experience playing one or more of these instruments and would like more information about the group, please contact Micaiah Kelly, our Associate Minister of Music, and she will be in touch with you.

Handbell Choir

Dr. Kely Hatley, director 

Our church has five octaves of Schulmerich Handbells. Our Handbell Choir meets for specific time periods to prepare to ring for worship and other occasions. If you have previous experience with handbells and would like to be a part of this group, then please contact Dr. Hatley in the music office. If you would like to learn how to ring handbells, music reading skills are not entirely necessary, but a good sense of rhythm and recognition of notes is definitely needed.

MBBC Orchestra

Dr. Kely Hatley, director 

During the summer months, when the children’s choirs do not meet, our orchestra gathers weekly during that Wednesday night time frame of 6-7 p.m. in the Sanctuary to prepare pieces to play in August. If you would like to dust off your instrument and join us for the summer orchestra, please contact Kely to let him know.  It’s very rewarding to play for the Lord.
