MUSIC & WORSHIP

“A time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will

worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of

worshipers the Father seeks.”     John 4:23

Based on these words of Jesus, FBC is committed to the importance of

“spirit and truth” worship, worship that engages both the heart and the mind.

Our ministry of worship revolves around the intentional coupling of the powerful

truth of scripture with music or other forms of art that encourage response to

that truth, drawing out the emotions and challenging the will.

To accomplish these basic purposes, a broad variety of congregational musical

styles may be used, from traditional hymns to contemporary expressions of loud

joy, quiet trust, thoughtful repentance, and passionate praise of God and His character.

Other helpful tools, such as drama, media clips, solo or ensemble music that inspires

worship, or other aids are used from time to time to further engage the whole person.

On a typical Sunday, congregational worship is supported by a worship team consisting

of several instrumentalists, vocalists, and technical equipment operators. Each Sunday’s

team is selected from participants who have committed themselves to be available to

help lead music and worship at FBC.

Worship team members must attend services regularly, must be involved in the life

of the church, and must maintain a positive witness and growing personal walk with

Christ, as well as possessing appropriate musical or technical skills. Len Williams,

Minister of Music and Worship, leads this team and gives overall direction to the

worship ministry at FBC. Len is a part-time staff member, and can be contacted
