MINISTRIES AT DENHAM STREET BAPTIST

​The Denham Street Baptist Church choir was unofficially formed on a Friday night, May 6, 1977, during a campout in Jabez, KY. The campers consisted of Bruce and Donna Meece, Charlie and Anita Fitzpatrick, Dean and Linda Harness, James and Verna Dick, and Jesse and Pat McCoy. During the course of the evening; amidst the background noise of a ferocious thunderstorm, in the shelter of a tent, the couples began singing hymns.

A few weeks after the campout, Bruce Meece was elected as the church song leader. David Warren, who in 1975, at the age of 15, had started playing the piano for the church, was officially elected as the church pianist. Shortly thereafter, the original Denham Street Baptist Church choir was formed. Bruce and David still lead and play for the choir, and many original members still sing today.

The Denham Street Baptist Church choir is an exciting and vibrant part of all of our worship services. Each individual member of our choir places a great emphasis toward a common goal: to share the gospel of Jesus Christ through a ministry of songs and music while uplifting and praising God’s holy name. The choir also has a reputation of making themselves available to sing for revivals and ministries throughout the surrounding areas, including Pulaski, Russell, Casey, Laurel, Wayne, and some regions of Tennessee.

Many extremely talented individuals have been a part of the choir of Denham Street Baptist Church over the past nearly forty years. Even though we have many vocally-gifted individuals, our choir consists primarily of people who are willing to offer a ‘voice’ of praise and ‘make melody in their hearts’ to the Lord and who are committed to the praising of God through song. We have no ‘tryouts’ and those who feel as if they cannot sing are just as welcome and encouraged to be a part of this ministry and fulfill our desire to become ‘one voice’ for him and to “Sing the Wondrous Story” of Jesus Christ.

Adjacent to the main sanctuary, the Church Nursery is open during all church services for diaper changes, feedings,  etc with a live stream from our services. Your child is welcome and encouraged to attend our services but in the event that you need to step out with them, we are happy to provide this service. During the 11:00 Sunday morning hour we have volunteers available if you would prefer your child to be babysat while you attend worship.
