Bob Burroughs

Bob Burroughs was born in Tazewell, Virginia, and currently is retired, living in Greer, SC.

Bob has been Minister of Music for First Baptist Church, Muskogee, OK, and First Baptist Church, Abilene, TX.  He served as Composer-In-Residence teaching at Samford University, Birmingham, AL, and Palm Beach Atlantic University, West Palm Beach, FL.  He retired after serving the Florida Baptist Convention as Director of the Church Music Department.

He holds degrees from Mars Hill College, Mars Hill, NC, Oklahoma Baptist University, Shawnee, OK, and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary School of Church Music, Ft. Worth, TX, with a double major in There & Composition.

Bob has some 2000 published works in print with 28 different companies, and has authored What Think Ye?, available on any eBook site.  Burroughs believes in youth and children's choirs, as evidence by the statement below:

"I believe strongly in children/youth choirs. They are the backbone of the future. Without them and without training them, we will be very way short of musicians in the immediate future — and this is never more true than today.  Churches who are cutting back or eliminating children's choirs will sorrowfully regret this action soon, when there are no singers, instrumental players, bell ringers or soloists available."
