Music praises God with our whole being: body, spirit, mind, and emotions.
The music ministry at First Baptist Church seeks to honor and worship God with excellence.
- Worship & Excellence - God has commanded all of us to praise Him in song.
Psalm 98:4 says, "Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth burst into jubilant song
with music." We encourage everyone to join in the congregational singing
and praise of our Lord.
- Adult Choir - The adult choir has many opportunities to minister to the
congregation during the worship services the months of September - May. The choir also has
the special opportunity to do a Christmas program each year and often times Easter program.
The choir year ends with a special night of Southern Gospel music. The Christmas program is
open to all church members and not just those who sing on a weekly basis. The choir practices
on Sunday Evenings from 4:30pm - 5:50pm and is open to those in the 9th grade through age 99.
Anyone interested in joining the choir should contact Harmony Flint.
- Leading in Worship - There are many opportunities to be involved musically
during the services for those whom God has given the ability. We desire that our musicians
lead in worship, not just perform. If you would like to be involved musically in our
services - by all means practice, but pray and search your heart as well.
- The Christmas Program - Each Christmas the choir is involved in a special
night of music (and at times, drama). The practice times for these productions are made known
during the fall, and it is open to all members, even those who don't sing in the choir on a
weekly basis. Many people find that this type of short term involvement fits their schedules
better than being involved in the weekly adult choir ministry.
- Special Music - Each week members of the church have the opportunity to minister
in music through various means. Vocal solos, ensembles, instrumental solos, offertory, and
worship team provide avenues to serve in the music ministry of the church.
