It is our desire for the Music Ministry at First Baptist to equip and encourage our congregation to live a lifestyle of worship (Matthew 22:37), and become vessels suitable to be used by our Savior for His service (Romans 12:1).
We want our Worship Services to be an outflow of our personal worship times during the week. Our desire is that the congregation would be fully engaged in the Worship Service and truly worship our Lord and Savior in spirit and in truth (John 4:24).
"O sing unto the Lord a new song; for He hath done marvelous things:"
Psalms 98:1
