Richmond Christian Music - ChristianMusic.com

Through joyful worship, First Baptist people strive to bring glory to God. As individuals, we experience the presence and work of God among us as we offer our lives to him in daily worship. As a congregation, we gather to praise God through music, to celebrate Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, to pray, to hear the word of God, and to bring our tithes and offerings before the Lord. Our worship opportunities include traditional Sunday services as well as monthly contemplative and healing services, and special services for Lent and Advent. We welcome you to join us in connecting with God and experiencing his joy.

At the Deaf Mission of First Baptist Church, we believe that deaf people can and should be the leaders of their own church and church programs. For this reason, we have separate worship services from the “hearing church.” These worship services are led by the pastor to the Mission with messages relevant to everyday life. Our worship is a celebration of faith with music and singing for the congregation and special songs by the deaf choir.

Music provides a common language to communicate the joy and hope of the Christian life.

Each age division of the Music Ministry seeks to call out the best spiritual, personal, and musical resources from its participants.

Our adult choir and Joy Singers (senior adults) provide inspirational and dynamic music for the worship services. Seasonal services during Advent and the spring are punctuated with stirring music and concerts, many of which are accompanied by orchestra and instrumental ensembles.

There are three handbell choirs as part of the Music Ministry at First Baptist. Both Youth I Bells (grades 6-7) and Youth II Bells (Grades 8-12) Our Adult Handbell Choir has been honored with performances at the White House and the Governor’s Mansion. In the summer of 2001, the Adult Handbell Choir went to Germany on a mission tour, playing and leading workshops in Cloppenberg and in December of 2002 and 2003 presenting concerts in Amberg.

Our children's choirs:
Music Too, M&M's, Angel 4's & 5, Stepping Stones, Music Makers, and Carol choirs.

But to really experience First Baptist Church, you'll need to come and be with us in person. I hope you'll come and join us. You'll find a warm, caring congregation which exists, as our mission statement says, "to make disciples of Jesus Christ through joyful worship, caring fellowship, spiritual nurture, faithful service, and compassionate outreach in the Richmond area and throughout the world."
