The Mississippi Singing Churchmen is a men’s choir, comprised of worship leaders from Baptist churches across Mississippi. The Churchmen have been in existence since 1965 and have expanded their ministry to include outreach, missions, and ministry. They have shared the Gospel throughout Mississippi and on mission trips across the United States and around the world. They are committed to “Sharing the Song of Jesus” wherever they have opportunity. The Churchmen can be heard in a worship concert during their fall tour, spring tour, or at the Mississippi Baptist Convention Annual Meeting.

The Mississippi Baptist Singing Churchwomen are comprised of female worship ministry leaders—ministers of music, accompanists, children’s choir coordinators, etc.—from across the state of Mississippi. Sharing a similar mission as the Singing Churchmen, these women have a long history of gathering to share testimony through song.  The Churchwomen gather annually for a rehearsal retreat in the Fall and sing throughout the year.
