The Baldwin church has enjoyed and benefitted from strong music leadership from both Baker University and the community throughout its 150 years. From Lena Elder Fuller's memories of 1858-1862 to the present, talented musicians have been a part of the congregation.

The following list gleaned from worship bulletins, various historical records and personal memories of present members and friends attempts to name the organists and choir directors. Years of service were difficult to ascertain accurately as there were two choirs, one for morning services and one for the evening, for a great many years. A plaque located on the south wall of the choir loft lists "Frank Nelson Hair, Baker Music professor, 1890-1907 as director." The April 10, 1898 Easter order of worship lists his choir: Jennie Bull, soprano; Mabel Knox, contralto; Roy VanLandingham, tenor; W. C. Markham, bass; Margarette Amos, pianist.

Dr. William C. Rice, chair of the Baker University Music Department (1939-1973), also directed the choir when the Baker choir served as the chancel choir. Specific dates were not found. More recently, others who have willingly shared of their talents are: Alice Anne (Callahan) Russell, piano and organ; Charlene (Callahan) Potter, violin; Jan Boyd, flute; Lea Hogsett, violin; Bob Kahle, organ; Carolyn Groves, piano; and a host of devoted choir members. We should also note that Metropolitan Opera star and Kansas University professor, Joyce (Malicky) Castle, grew up in Baldwin and began her musical career in the church and Baker University choirs.

And now the church has come full circle with Sunday evening services begun again in 2002 under the leadership of Rev. Nanette Roberts and continued by Rev. Pam Morrison. Rev. Morrison encouraged the formatioin of a Praise Choir accompanied by piano, guitar and drums. In all probability this innovation has been perceived by some in a similar way as the gentlemen who left the services in 1858 in order that "his religious fervor not be harrowed" by the organ.
