Oklahoma Baptist Symphony
Dr. Mike Raiber, Conductor

General Information
The Oklahoma Baptist Symphony has established a rich tradition in instrumental worship.
The tradition continues to build, with the commitment of its members to allow God to use our instruments to be a ministry and a witness to all who hear them.
Sponsored by the Worship & Music Ministry of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma, this ministry organization is made up of volunteers from every walk of life. The group has grown to 65 members, each desiring to praise God with the instrumental and musical skills God has given them.
The Oklahoma Baptist Symphony desires to provide a spiritual focus, which will:
- emphasize the beauty of God’s creation and His mighty power;
- point the hearts of people to the Lordship of Christ; lead people to worship; prepare the hearts of people to receive Christ;
- challenge people to give their very best to the Lord; and
- promote the instrumental ministry throughout the state, the nation and “. . . the uttermost parts of the earth.”
