Ministry of Music

Ministry of Music - Rev. Tim Blann

The Music Ministry of First Baptist seeks to lead you higher in your worship and deeper into the heart of God. Music is not a stand-alone element, but exists as a servant to worship and as an avenue for expressions of our love to God. There are many ways to express our love of God: some say it best through great hymns; some through contemporary worship songs; some through grand organ sounds; and some through rhythm and percussion. It is the goal of the Music Ministry to say, “I love You” to our Lord Jesus Christ in many ways. We are inclusive of many styles, and we aim to be inter-generational in approach.
