...MAKING HIS GLORY KNOWN AMONG THE PEOPLE

The Worship Ministry of First Baptist Church in Sumter provides opportunities for people of all ages to use their God-given talents and abilities to help our church engage in authentic worship, while leading our congregation in contagious praise!

We hold true to the scriptures and have developed some core values to use as a foundation for building our ministry of worship and music.  Following the acronym S.T.E.P.S., we believe God is calling us to:

SERVE HIM AND ONE ANOTHER
TAKE TIME TO PRAY
EXTEND GRACE TO ONE ANOTHER
PROTECT THE COMMUNITY OF GOD
SHARE OUR STORY
