"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!"
(Psalm 150: 6)

Worshipping the Lord is a central part of the life of every believer. In fact, true and authentic worship should permeate every aspect of our lives. One way to worship the Lord is through God's gift of music. The Worship Ministry at West Jackson Street Baptist Church exists to give honor and glory due to the Father, to exalt and magnify Jesus Christ our Savior, to draw God's people into a deeper fellowship with Him, and to reach the lost with the gospel of Jesus Christ. If you are interested in volunteering, please know that there is place for you in the Worship Ministry!

"Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; For it is pleasant, and praise is beautiful."
(Psalm 147: 1)

The Worship Choir at West Jackson Street Baptist Church vocally leads our congregation in Sunday worship at the 10:30 a.m. worship service and occasionally at the 8:30 a.m. worship service. The Worship Choir also participates in seasonal events and other special programs, such as our yearly Christmas Program and our Easter Night of Praise. This body of volunteers is a non-auditioned group and is open to those who passionately desire not only to praise the Lord with their gifts and abilities but also to lead others to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. We invite you to visit one of our weekly scheduled rehearsals to see if the Lord would have you serve in this ministry.

"Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise Him with the sound of the lute and harp! Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes! Praise Him with loud cymbals! Praise Him with clashing cymbals! Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!"
(Psalm 150: 3-6)

While singing to the Lord is one way of worshipping, playing a musical instrument is another form of worship as well (1 Chronicles 15). Comprised of a variety of instruments, including piano, keyboards, guitars, drums, percussion, woodwinds, and brass, our band and orchestra play a prominent role during our Sunday morning worship services. The Worship Band/Orchestra at West Jackson Street Baptist Church instrumentally leads our congregation in Sunday worship at the 10:30 a.m. worship service. The Worship Band/Orchestra also participates in seasonal events and other special programs, such as our yearly Christmas Program and our Easter Night of Praise.
