About
California Southern Baptist Convention
The Music and Worship department of the CSBC has been up and running since the 1960s. Several music ministry leaders across the years have led the charge to strengthen and train local church music leaders and teams. Each era of church music involvement over the decades has seen a distinct difference in what it takes to help the church musically. Presently, our Music Leader is Brother Roger Byrd, Musician-Minister, who began his work here in 2001. We're glad you're here!
Sharing my Passion
Hello, I'm Roger,
I'm glad you came by to find out more about what we do.
Our team serves roughly 2,400 churches and congregations across California. Many of these are "English second" churches, meaning they primarily speak another language at church. We have Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Hmong, and many other church cultures in our network. Helping all the churches in music is just as varied as the languages. We do our best to listen and help each minister-musician who calls and seeks our guidance.
Please use the "contact" page to leave me a note.
We'll get back to you soon.
