The music ministry of the First Baptist Church exists for several reasons: 1) to bring glory and praise to God; 2) to provide meaningful and excellent contributions to the congregation’s corporate worship experiences; 3) to help singers and instrumentalists grow musically and spiritually; 4) to provide participants with an excellent opportunity of service and ministry in the local body of Christ; 5) to provide smaller group “family” settings for sharing, caring, ministering, and growth.
If you are interested in knowing more about the ministry, please contact Phil Crosby.
