The Mississippi Singing Churchmen is a men’s choir, comprised of ministers of music from Baptist churches in Mississippi. The Churchmen began in 1965 under the leadership of the late Dan Hall, director of the Worship Ministries Department for Mississippi Baptists (1964-1986). In 1971 the Churchmen elected officers and organized their operations for outreach, missions, and ministry. They have sung their testimony throughout Mississippi and in mission trips around the United States and the world. They are committed to “Sharing the Song of Jesus” wherever they have opportunity.
