Our music program has historically served as a focal point of our worship. In fact, we hosted the first performance of Jesus Christ Superstar in 1971. Today, the Madison Avenue Baptist Church hosts a sextet of Broadway and off-Broadway singers led by our music director, Paul Stephan. Our music ranges from plain chant and classical to gospel and Bruce Springsteen. A typical example of our creative use of music is our Good Friday Country Western Service, featured by the New York Times. Listen to some samples below.
