Defining Worship

What is worship? At Second Baptist we believe that worship is about glorifying God and resting in His presence. For us that means that worship is about much more than just the right kind of music.

Worship Arts

At our church, we use the phrase Worship Arts to describe what we want worship to be. If you worship with us at Second, you’ll hear dramatic readings of scripture, experience extended moments of quiet reflection, see thought provoking videos and dramas, be encouraged to lift your voice in song, and have your life shaped through challenging sermons. In two distinct services, we use this wide variety of arts, methods, and experiences to praise God and acknowledge who He is in our lives.

Celebration

Our early service is called Celebration. Beginning at 9:00 A.M., we gather for a mixture of traditional hymns and well known choruses. Our Adult Choir sings in this service, and you might also expect to see the occasional use of other creative elements such as video or drama. Our hope in Celebration is to mix quiet reflection with a dignified yet energetic way of praising God.

The Bridge

At 11:20 A.M., we have a second service called The Bridge. The music is more contemporary, and there is common use of highly creative and experiential elements. But more than issues of style, our hope in the Bridge is to create an atmosphere of freedom as we worship.

Raising Up a New Generation of Worshippers

Another way that we focus on Worship Arts at Second Baptist is in teaching every generation in our church how to use their unique talents and gifts to praise God. Second Baptist Church has a highly developed approach to teaching children about worship. Learn more about how children learn to worship at our church.

That same philosophy goes for our teenagers as well. At Second Baptist, everyone in our student ministry can choose a different way to use their gifts to worship God. Learn more about the creative ways our students learn to worship at our church.
