Music Ministries

"Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs;
Sing and make music in your hearts to the Lord!"

[Go to Music Index]

The Music Ministry of First Baptist Church of Regina exists to enhance the worship experience. It is an exciting and diverse program that invites people of all ages, abilities and interests to make a joyful noise TOGETHER in a "caring music family environment". A wide range of musical expression is fostered, utilizing and nurturing the musical talents of its music family members.

Music at First Baptist Church is focused upon PEOPLE rather than on PROGRAMS. People participating in music-making experience music as one of the great ingredients of life, health, strength and happiness! "Music is to the mind as air is to the body." (Plato)

The FBC music ministry desires to attract not only the talented and experienced musician, but also to encompass all who love music in either a performing or listening capacity. Understanding that music speaks to each of God's people in a distinctly personal manner, a variety of styles are presented. The intent is that musical offerings, ranging from traditional/classical to contemporary, will serve as a medium of expression and creativity for the congregation and community.
