Thank you for your interest in the School of Fine Arts (SOFA) at First Baptist Church of Auburndale. We believe that we should take David’s words in Psalms 33:3, “play skillfully before the Lord,” to heart; therefore, FBCA wanted to provide a venue by which one may learn to do so with excellence. The School of Fine Arts offers instruction by Christian artistic professionals in multiple disciplines. It is resolved to develop the unique God-given talents of children and adults reach their fullest potential for service in ministry, their profession, or simply for personal enjoyment.
