Worship Ministry
The legacy of worship at First Baptist – Irving originates in the roots of this church 100 years ago. While the hymns and songs sung have changed and evolved, the intent of the heart has not changed. God centered worship, expressed through all styles and all musical dialects is a weekly offering during all three morning worship services. We all speak the same language of worship together; it’s just that the services themselves sound a bit different.
The 8:45 Classic Service
Our Adult Choir, Piano, Organ, and part-time Orchestra focus on great hymns and anthems of our faith. Led by Will James, and certainly “Classic” in approach, each Sunday offers the opportunity to worship a living God through a traditional style. Exceptional specials and seasonal music include large Orchestras and Wind Bands.
The 10:00 & 11:15 Contemporary Services
Our contemporary service is led by Worship Pastor Jared Billups, Contemporary Band, and Worship Team. The main goal of the contemporary service is for our congregation to be able to express outwardly, through their voices, the worship that is taking place in their hearts. We like to call this “overflow worship.” Even though these services are labeled “contemporvent” they express both ancient and modern forms of God–Centered worship.
GET CONNECTED In WORSHIP
Besides being an interregnal part of the "congregational choir" each week, there are opportunities to help lead in worship through music at First Irving.
If you are a trained, even gifted musician, there is a place for you.
If you love to sing, but can’t read a note of music, there is a place for you.
If you are a rusty band or orchestra person, there is a place for you.
If you love the traditional sounds of handbells, there is a place for you.
If you love teaching young children about God’s love for them (through music), there is a place for you.
Come be a part of what God is doing in this weekly ministry
