In the context of a worship service, music should never be “music for music’s sake.” As worship leaders here at First Baptist it is our desire to assist the people, through the medium of music, to encounter God. We are not just to sing and play songs. We are not here to entertain or “perform” for an audience; we are here to use everything at our disposal to glorify God and edify His people. The Music Ministry at First Baptist Church is dedicated to facilitating opportunities to worship and to respond to God’s Word.
