Music & Worship Ministry
Billy Orton - Minister of Music and Worship

“Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.” PSALM 33:3

The Music Ministry of First Baptist Church seeks to glorify God in Christ, communicating the Gospel in vibrant and creative fashion. Providing music groups for every age, the Music Ministry involves hundreds of persons in educational and service activities on a weekly basis. We place great emphasis upon the worship of God-and upon the wonderful responsibilities of leading and equipping persons to be actively involved in that important act.

You are invited to a special presentation of American music!
Highlights will include Copland’s A Lincoln Portrait (with narrator Don Phelps) and John Williams’ “Hymn to the Fallen” (from SAVING PRIVATE RYAN).

The concert by the versatile FBC Orchestra will include music by Eric Whitacre, James Curnow, and John Phillip Sousa,
two Big Band selections(!), and will close with the popular Carmen Dragon arrangement of “America the Beautiful.”

No admission charged, and no offering will be taken. Simply come and enjoy!
