Worshiping Authentically

Home » Why We Exist » Worshiping Authentically

Worship is the primary gathering setting for the people of First Baptist. While there are Sunday school classes, small group, and many opportunities for ministry, we believe that worship is the foremost gathering of the people of God. Join us for either traditional (9:15 a.m.) or contemporary (11:15 a.m.) worship each Sunday morning.

Our church is in the ongoing process of learning and living out the fact that worshiping God is a way of living that influences everything we do, way beyond the songs we sing during our meetings on Sundays. As human beings we are constantly worshiping, or giving worth, to something–God, money, recognition, love, entertainment… anything people tend to care a lot about. We’re just made that way. God-centered worship happens when, by the prompting of the Holy Spirit, we live in a way that glorifies God the Creator and his Son, our Redeemer, for who He is, what He has done on the cross, what He is doing now in His body (the Church) and what He is going to do when he returns in glory. This kind of worship can happen anytime, anywhere. Talking with a friend. Listening to music. Playing. Working. Resting. Loving. The idea is that we can, and are meant to worship God ALL of the time, in everything we do. God wants us to worship Him because He loves us, and He is the only One worth worshiping. Reminding each other of that one great Love is what we come together for.
