Hopefully, you'll become more familiar with our Music Ministry by clicking through these
pag

First Baptist Church  Pensacola

es. I hope also that you'll get a sense of our calling to "take hold of that for which
God has taken hold of us." [Philippians 3:12]

First Bapt

ist Church, Pensacola, has a wonderful musical heritage. She is now in her
"second 150 years" of sharing about Christ and his goodness. Through these years,
this s

haring has taken on many forms.

Currently, we share musically through our choral music , our instrumental music and
our
congregational worship . The basis for everything we do within our Music Ministry is
Psalm 33:3: "Sing to the Lord a new song, play skillfully, and shout for joy." I believe
this one succinct verse lays the Biblical foundation for our three avenues of musical
worship (choir and ensembles, instruments and congregation).

If you live in Pensacola and are looking to add an exciting dimension to your spiritual life,
then I invite you to join us in our mission to lift high the name of Jesus through music!
Just call the Music Office at 433-5631 and talk with us; you'll find it a very easy process
to become a part of our ministry.

If, on the other hand, you're simply browsing these pages from another place, let me
encourage you to "sing to the Lord a new song" wherever you are. He desires and loves
to hear His children sing His praises. And, if you're ever in Pensacola, visit us at
500 North Palafox Street .

Again, thanks for visiting this site . . . and may you continue to be excited in your faith
