Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the fantastically fun and music-filled state of South Carolina! Nestled snugly between the salty kisses of the Atlantic Ocean and the towering majesty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, SC is a place where the sun smiles a bit brighter and the peach pies taste a bit sweeter than anywhere else in the world. Now, let's meet our delightful little stars, the spectacular kids of SC who participate in Music Therapy activity. With a heart full of rhythm and a spirit full of song, these kids are not your regular bunch. They're the Swinging Starlets of South Carolina, magically transforming their love for music into a healing melody. Leading the Starlets is Maestro Mole, a charmingly quirky character with a shiny conductor's baton and a top hat that seems to be perpetually askew. He's a mole, you see, but not just any mole. Maestro Mole has a peculiar talent of making music from anything and everything – a clatter of pots, a rustling of leaves, even the buzzing of a pesky mosquito becomes a symphony under his baton. With the Maestro and the Starlets, the music therapy sessions are less like therapy and more like a jubilant journey through the magical landscapes of sound. They laugh, they sing, they beat on drums and strum on guitars, making each day a new adventure in the land of notes and rhythms. And every time a Starlet hits a new note or learns a new song, somewhere in the magical state of South Carolina, a peach tree blossoms a bit more and a seagull sings a bit louder. Yes, that's the power of the Swinging Starlets of South Carolina!

At Taylor's First Baptist Church, we believe that it is important to nurture and strengthen our members, so that they are equipped to have a deeper and more meaningful relationship with God and to share the Gospel with the world. We are firmly rooted in the teachings of the Bible and strive to stay true to its fundamental messages. Recently, the disciples of Jesus were invited to join him on a mountain in Galilee. When they arrived, they were filled with awe and reverence, yet some were filled with doubt. Jesus then proclaimed, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” At Taylor's First Baptist Church, we strive to help our members find the courage to face their doubts and worship Jesus with all their hearts. We seek to provide a space where our members can find comfort in knowing that Jesus is the one and only authority, and that He is always with us.
