A Message From Bob Hatfield, Minister of Music

One of God’s richest gifts to humankind is the beautiful gift of music. At Dawson we strive to provide enriching musical experiences for persons of all ages in order to utilize the gift of music for the glory of God. Over 1100 persons participate in singing, ringing, or playing an instrument through the music ministry.

For students and adults, weekly rehearsals and services enable persons who work and worship together to develop meaningful relationships that can last a lifetime. Children are involved each week in the joy of making music and interacting with friends and teachers as they are taught to use music to praise God.

Our music ministry also provides a wide array of special events during the year including concerts with the choir and orchestra at Christmas, Easter, and at other times and culminates each year with a very special Birmingham Christmas tradition known as “Candlelight at Dawson.”

The Dawson Music Academy provides private and group instruction during the week in piano, voice, guitar, and orchestral instruments. Life-long skills are developed through this valuable instruction.

There is definitely a special place for you in the music ministry. Join us as we “sing and make music in our hearts to the Lord!”

Bob Hatfield
Minister of Music
