The Singing Men of South Texas is composed of Ministers of Music and church musicians from churches in South Texas from Georgetown to McAllen and Del Rio to Port Lavaca. Tommy Lyons has been director of the group since 1979. Six other such groups as this go together to form Singing Men of Texas, and are an arm of the Baptist General Convention of Texas.

Requesting the Singing Men to Sing in Your Area

Besides doing one concert per month in this area of the state, this group participates in music missions around the world. Under the sponsorship of the Southern Baptist International Mission Board, the North American Mission Board, and the Baptist General Convention of Texas, this group has worked in a statewide evangelistic crusade in Hawaii, and nationwide evangelistic thrusts in Brazil and Australia. They have also done two week-long projects of teaching and concerts in the area of the new Canadian Southern Baptist Seminary in Calgary, Alberta, and in Vancouver, British Columbia. A similar mission was completed in Costa Rica. A group from the South Texas Singing Men joined the other area choirs in a wonderfully productive time in Romania. This project was part of Texas Baptist Partnership Missions. The group finished a California project at the Golden Gate Seminary and the Bay Area in October 1998, and a Vermont project in the fall of 2000 and again in October 2002. Recently completed was a project to New England, October 2005, where five of the six Singing Men groups of Texas participated. Other projects have included Moldova in 2007 and New England 2008.
