Lewisburg Baptist Academy Fine Arts Program

Opportunities abound at LBA for students in elementary, junior high,

and secondary levels, in the fine arts. Each year LBA competes in the

WVCEA Fine Arts Competition. This is a statewide competition. Senior High first place winners continue to National Competitions.

The five major categories are:

Bible, Music, Speech, Art, and Academics.

Philosophy and Goals of LBA Music Program

The music in the believer's life must conform to the standards laid down in God's Word. It is our belief that ROCK MUSIC, CHRISTIAN ROCK MUSIC, and much of the CONTEMPORARY MUSIC does not measure up to the following Biblical guidelines and should therefore be avoided. Parents need to enforce these standards at home if the school is to be successful in its efforts.

Please consider these guidelines with any music you allow your children to listen to:

1. It should have biblically accurate, God-honoring words (Col.3:16).

2. It should be Holy Spirit filled and directed (Eph.5:18-19).

3. It should be separated from the world and the things of the world (II Cor.6:7). It must not promote the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, or the pride of life (I John 2:15-17).

4. It should communicate with the Lord while teaching and admonishing believers (Col.3:16). There should never be a question of the music becoming a stumbling block to fellow believers (I Cor.8:8-13; I John 2:15).
