The adult choir at Ridgeway celebrates the seasons of the year with our annual Christmas and Easter musicals. These presentations are designed to point the listener to the true meaning of these special religious holidays. Other special times, such as Thanksgiving, allow the adult choir to join together with other choirs in the Enka-Candler area. Children's Choir The Children's Choir at Ridgeway is open to all first through sixth grade children. This group meets each Wednesday at 7:45 pm. In addition to learning many songs, old and new, the children's choir also worships through movement and other kid-friendly activities. The children sing at various times of the year, including Christmas, Easter, and our bi-annual talent nights. If you have children who would like to be a part of this high-energy experience, feel free to bring them each Wednesday night. If you have any questions, please contact the church office. Little Folks Choir
DramaThe Musical/Dramas, directed by Music Minister Scott Sprinkle and Drama Director Diane Parker, are performed at Christmas and Easter. Each production offers a magnificent portrayal of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, reminding us of the sacrifice that was given so that we might have eternal salvation. The goal in each drama presentation is to save a soul for Jesus. The Lord has given each of us a talent. Volunteers are always needed to act, sing, build props, and sew costumes. Perhaps you will find a place in this exciting program to help lead someone to the gift of eternal life.

At Ridgeway Baptist Church, music is a very important aspect of our worship. Each Sunday, the Ridgeway Baptist Church adult choir provides music for worship, incorporating many different musical styles. Whether it is old-time gospel, inspirational, contemporary worship, or beloved hymns, this group truly exalts the name of the Lord. In August 2006, the adult choir began working as three separate groups: Southern gospel, inspirational, and praise and worship choir. Once a month, the large choir reconvenes in a joint musical venture.
The Little Folks Choir is for children ages 3, 4 and 5 years. We meet every second, third and fourth Wednesday night at 7:00 pm. The class lasts for 30 minutes. Directed by Donna Braswell, the children learn a variety of songs, and they usually perform at Christmas and Mother's Day. If your child loves to sing, she or he will want to be a part of this energetic group. We look forward to meeting you.
