That was a major discovery during our recent 40 Days of Purpose campaign. The most important reason for our gathering as a community of believers is to worship God.

We like to say that our worship style is “authentically First Baptist” – a blended, traditional worship that honors the past, lives in the present, and embraces the future. Our style has evolved as our congregation has evolved and so it is uniquely ours. You will just have to experience it for yourself, any Sunday at 8:45 a.m. or 11:00 a.m!

Looking to the Future – The Worship Purpose Team

The greatest challenge facing our Worship Purpose Team as we conduct our strategic planning for 2004-2006 is the designing of a third worship service to accommodate our continuing growth in worship attendance which hit an all time high of 1700+ in three services on Easter Sunday this year.

Pray for our Worship Purpose Team as they sort through the issues of time, style and place for this third worship service.

Worship on the FBC Website

The Worship section of our website contains a variety of information about worship at First Baptist including our worship schedule and the sermon text and title for the week, archived sermons, and information about baptism, communion, parent/child dedication, and child care during worship, including care for children with special needs. It also contains information on how to become a member of First Baptist Church.

In other areas of the website you can find out about a class for children called, Preparing for Worship, search for upcoming worship events on our Worship Calendar, or find a place to use your gifts in worship on our Music & Worship Ministries page.

For more information about worship at First Baptist or our Worship Purpose Team, contact Kurt Wachtel, Minister of Music, at 763-2471 or kwachtel@fbcwilmington.org.
