FEBRUARY 12-14, 2009

The West Coast Baptist College Administration invites you to attend our 10th Annual West Coast Baptist College Music Seminar. In a combined setting, we will have preaching and teaching on music. Individual sessions will also be taught specifi cally for choir members, music directors, vocalists, accompanists and sound/production technicians. These sessions will be taught by our keynote speakers as well as our music team members here at Lancaster Baptist Church and West Coast Baptist College.

You have the opportunity to sing in a choir directed by Ron Hamilton and accompanied by his wife, Shelly. The fi rst 100 Pastors and Music Directors who register will receive a packet of music from Majesty Music as well as other publishers who have produced songs that we have used recently.

Music is a gift from God. It is POWERFUL! It sets the pace and direction of our services. It prepares hearts for the preaching of the Word of God. This is why we, as music directors, and everyone on our music teams, should be continually learning, growing and sharpening our skills.

This will be an exciting, challenging, and profi table time for all who attend. Make plans now to join us February 12-14, 2009 for our Music Seminar.
