The primary function of any church, and of any Christian, is the worship of God.  This involves corporate worship of the congregation, and individual worship that takes place on a daily basis. 

When First Baptist gathers for worship, we do so with reverence for we are coming into the very presence of God.  We seek to offer an offering of our worship that will give honor to God, our Creator and Savior.  Worship is not intended to simply “entertain” the congregation; it is an offering to God.  Although worship is directed toward God, it must also be relevant to the everyday needs and life situations of the worshipping community.

You will find a great variety in worship style and content over the course of the year, from the rich pageantry and liturgy of Advent, Lent and Easter, to more casual and intimate services emphasizing youth and children.

Music is an important element of any service.  The four vocal choirs and two instrumental groups regularly contribute to the worship event.  The sermon is traditionally central to Baptist worship; while preaching is important, we seek to make every element of worship meaningful to the community of faith.  The weekly children’s message, choral anthems, organ and other instrumental music, congregational hymns, prayers and liturgy all form a united experience where the human and the Holy can meet and interact.

Come and join us and experience worship for yourself, but come more than once - every season of the Christian Year offers a different emphasis from the formal to the casual, and each Sunday is a unique experience.
