About The Tindley Academy

The Tindley Academy was established in the Fall of 1988 as an outreach ministry of Third Baptist Church by its Pastor, Dr. Amos C. Brown. After six successful years, the Academy was incorporated in November of 1994 as an independent non-profit Agency to better serve the total community, especially the inner-city youth of the Western Addition of San Francisco with a quality artistic, academic, and cultural enrichment program.

Through BAM, we plant the seeds of music that will enhance and enrich the life of your child for a lifetime..”
