  • Over 650 people were involved in some way in the weekend, and over $6,500 was raised to offset costs for NFBC’s Youth Choir Mission Tour 2024 to San Antonio, TX, through contributions.

We express our deepest appreciation to those individuals who devoted countless hours and creative energies toward making our 2024 Spring Gala/Dinner Theatre a tremendous success. Our church is fortunate to have such wonderful leadership willing to use their gifts for God’s glory. We are also grateful for the many contributors who provided donations. The students participating in our Youth Choir Mission Tour to San Antonio, Texas, will benefit greatly from the many investments of time and financial resources that have been given in support of their mission endeavors this summer.

Our sincere gratitude is extended to our dedicated servant-leaders, including our assistant director (Philip Owens), choreographer (Sammy Schrecker), costumers (Susan Owens and team), musicians (led by Joe Fitzpatrick), tech crew, set designer and creator (Melita Thomas), make-up artists, servers, our incredible kitchen staff led by Angie Curto, our custodial and security teams (led by Patrick Roshetko), and the outstanding Cast and Crew of Rodger’s and Hammerstein’s Cinderella. Thank you to Nashville First Baptist for the opportunity to provide such an incredible experience that spans across generations and builds life-long relationships.
