Music Ministry

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
Psalm 100:1-2

One of our Core Values as a congregation centers around the theme of Worship and Music. It reads: Worship is the celebration of God's gift of life. This provides us with the opportunity to return praise and thanksgiving to the source of our creation. Music is an integral part of this celebration. We embrace a blended approach to this creative expression believing that different styles of music speak to different needs in the hearts of God's people.

The Music Ministry at First Baptist offers the following opportunities to "make a joyful noise unto the Lord."

Take-Note - Children 1-6 Grade   Praise Team - Youth & Adults
Youth Bells - 6-12 Grade   Concert Bells - Adults
Youth Choir - 6-12 Grade   Chancel Choir - Adults

First Baptist Church has a vibrant and exciting music ministry! The Chancel Choir sings every Sunday in worship and recently presented a glorious Christmas cantata entitled "Come Rejoicing", complete with organ and brass accompaniment. The Youth Choir has almost 30 young people singing together with a beautiful blend. They provide special music occasionally and displayed their own musical entitled "Waiters" in March. The Take Note! Choir is an after-school activity on Wednesdays for 1st-6th grade children. They have sung in worship, at various retirement homes, at Dow Gardens and at the Midland Mall. On Mother's Day, they presented their own musical, entitled "Promise U". The Praise and Worship Team is made up of several youth and adults and includes guitar, keyboard, bass and drums. They sing several Sundays each month and prepare a complete service occasionally with newer contemporary songs and personal testimonies. Handbells are an important part of our musical expression, and we have two groups for youth and another group for adults who play in worship regularly.
