Northminster Baptist Church - Jackson, Mississippi
The Worship of God is the central act of Northminster Baptist Church. Rooted in our Baptist principles, the Northminster congregation seeks to make God the object and purpose of our worship.
Northminster’s services represent the “Charleston tradition” of Baptist worship, which Baptist historian H. Leon McBeth characterizes as “a more formal style of preaching and worship” and is the most historic style of worship among Baptists in the South. As Baptists, we practice believers’ baptism, allow for a time of response following the sermon, and sing hymns familiar to our faith.
Northminster has enjoyed a long tradition of excellence in its music. Our sacred music is an integral and vital part of our worship services. The organ, the sanctuary choir, soloists and instrumentalists all strive to underscore the Word of God and assist in drawing the congregation closer to the Lord’s presence.Sanctuary Choir
Northminster is known for its wonderful music program. A significant part of this ministry is the Sanctuary Choir. Our Sanctuary Choir anthems are chosen to reflect best the Scripture passages for each Sunday and for their quality of music and theology in glorifying God. The choir helps lead in worship through the singing of an anthem each Sunday morning. Additionally, the congregation enjoys choir programs during special seasons of the year.
Children’s Choir
Additionally, the church offers both a preschool and elementary children’s choir. These choirs both integrate music with Christian education and rehearse for contributions in the worship services.The Austin Organ of Northminster Baptist Church
After much consideration, the organ committee selected the Austin Organ Company of Hartford, Connecticut, largely in part because of the skill of Alfred Isaacson, Design Engineer. While the crafting of the organ was underway in Hartford, a process which took one and a half years, significant changes began in the sanctuary.
Today we celebrate as this beautiful instrument undergoes even further additions to enhance its wonderful sound. Thus, the Austin Organ of Northminster Baptist Church is a work of love with both a long history and a larger future. When none of us present today are still living, we have good reason to believe that the sounds of this instrument will be calling Northminster Christians to the best that is within them and beyond them. For the blessings of such an instrument in assisting us in our praise, may thanks be to God!All who seek to follow Christ are invited to join us as we journey together and minister in Christ's name.
