Worship

“Shout joyfully to God, all the earth!
Sing about the glory of His name;
make His praise glorious.”
Psalm 66:1-2

WORSHIP MINISTRIES

The worship ministry is made up teams of passionate volunteers who love God and love leading the church family in worship. If this describes you, there is a place for you on the team!

Our Worship Philosophy:

How do you make people worship? The short answer is, you can’t. It is humanly impossible to make people worship. Regardless of the talent of the musician, the mood of the worship service, the expertise of the worship media, the volume of the music; nobody can make another person truly worship. That being said, a worship leader or worship pastor, should strive to provide an atmosphere that is conducive to worship.


In order to answer the question, “how do you help people worship,” it is helpful to look at some basic biblical facts.
  1. Worship is about ascribing to God His worth. (I Chronicles 16:27-29; II Kings 17:36)
  2. Worship is ultimately for God, not us. (Psalm 100; Isaiah 44:23, 51:11)
  3. In order to worship, people must see God. (Psalm 22:27, 95:6, 96:9; Romans 12:1-2; Revelation 15:4)
  4. Worship is purposeful. (Genesis 22:5; Judges 5:3; Psalm 9:1; John 4:23-24)

Worship is an act of intentional purpose, not an accident, not a ritual, and not something that is a perfunctory fulfillment of a spiritual to-do list. Perhaps the best way to help people worship is by understanding worship ourselves and then living and teaching that truth to those around us.

Children's Choir

During each semester of the the school year, the children meet to prepare a musical or music presentation which they present at the end of each semester. Each week the children are given a spiritual challenge through music or lesson plan.



Living Christmas Tree

The Living Christmas Tree is presented as a gift to the community from First Baptist Church by a 100 voice choir, full orchestra and drama cast. The 39 foot metal constructed tree is covered with 100,000 computer controlled lights moving in synchronization to music. It is a unique sight to behold. Each year offers a new presentation, but the message is always the same. The purpose and heartbeat of this event is to share the gospel message of Christ and His love.
