Worship by the First Baptist community does not fit neatly into one of the two well-known and well-worn categories: “contemporary” or “traditional.” Our worship is interactive, participatory and focused on God. In worship we celebrate the good news of Jesus and the presence of the Holy Spirit. We employ both ancient and modern forms that help us touch the transcendent as we seek a divine perspective on our lives in the world. Because our congregation is diverse in age, we use worship songs and texts that are ageless. Because our congregation is unified around our mission, we worship God togeth
