First Baptist Church of Salado

 

 

We believe that worship is one of the five important functions of a local church. Worship through music plays a very important role here at FBC. We offer a variety of choirs, vocal ensembles, and instrumental groups which enhance our corporate worship experience. In addition to the music, we often intermingle drama, video, and other multimedia to our worship services. 

 

There is a difference between a song service and a worship service. A song service can be a loosely connected collection of favorite songs, whereas a worship service has a specific goal — to draw near and focus on the Lord. The acts of worship aremerely a reflection of a life already given to God and a rehearsal of future obedience. Worship is something that you do, it involves action. It isn’t a passive experience. When we actively, consistently love and adore the Lord, our actions will follow our heart. As we unite our hearts and minds in love for the Father each Sunday, we rediscover the strength of His grace in our lives. 

 

Our Sunday morning worship services offer unique and uplifting musical styles. The first service is a contemporary mix accompanied by our praise band, CrossEyed. The second service is a traditional blend accompanied by our pianists, celebration orchestra, and worship choir.  In both services, our purpose is the same – to encourage the believer, exalt the Savior and evangelize the seeking. We intend to give our Holy God the praise and worship that He alone deserves.

 

 

Our Worship Choir is open for all persons ages 16 and up. Weekly rehearsals are from 7:00-8:00 p.m. every Wednesday evening in the Music Suite. This non-audition choir invites both seasoned and inexperienced singers into its ranks. If you have never participated in a choir before, or cannot read music, this is the place for you. We’ll teach you how to sing and how to read music. The Worship Choir along with our orchestra instrumentalists are our key worship-leading group in the 2^nd service. 

 

 

Our Worship Orchestra is open to anyone ages 15+. To be a part of the instrumental ensemble, you must have at least three years playing experience on your instrument. The Orchestra instrumentalists accompany the choir during the 2^nd worship service as scheduled.  Routine rehearsals for the orchestra are from 4:45-5:45 pm each Sunday afternoon. 

 

Xtreme4Christ is the name of our youth choir. This talented group of 7^th through 12^th graders are active throughout the school year. The purpose of this group is to train young people in music and leading worship. Each summer, Xtreme4Chirst will take an extended mission trip/choir tour to lead in Vacation Bible School, Backyard Bible Clubs, and repairing or building churches. These mission-minded your people are excited about serving our Lord!

 

 

 

Sundays @ 5:00 pm (September-April)

Our children’s choirs are “Made for Praise!” These kindergarten through 6^th grade students perform a major children’s musical on occasion throughout the year, and occasionally perform for our morning or evening worship services. We consider it so vital to continue our legacy of praise with the upcoming generations.

 

 

 

We believe every Christian has a place of service. There are several vocal ensembles which perform in our worship services along with accomplished soloists. We value every person’s musical ability and desire to see you use your ability to serve God here at FBC. If you have a musical gift or have served in a previous ministry, please contact our Music ministry leadership.

 

Our Handbell Choir brings advanced sacred and secular handbell music to the widest possible audience.The choir rehearses on Sundays at 4:30pm, and plays routinely in morning worship services and other venues.
