Music

At Faith Baptist Church in Gulfport, our music ministry is rooted in traditional hymns and Christ-centered worship. Each service includes heartfelt congregational singing, inspiring special music, and a dynamic choir dedicated to lifting up the name of Jesus. Our desire is to glorify God through music that encourages the soul and strengthens the faith of every listener.

Choir

Our church choir is a vibrant part of worship at each service, lifting hearts and voices in praise. With a blend of traditional hymns and uplifting gospel music, the choir helps set the tone for heartfelt worship and spiritual reflection. Whether you’re an experienced vocalist or simply love to sing, there’s a place for you in the choir family.

Congregational Hymns

Congregational singing is at the heart of our worship. Together, we lift our voices in timeless hymns that honor God and unite the church in spirit and truth. These songs of faith, joy, and reverence help prepare our hearts for the message and draw us closer to the Lordβ€”and to one another.

Special Songs

Each service features special songs that uplift and inspireβ€”whether through solos, duets, or small groups. These heartfelt vocal performances offer a powerful way to glorify God and minister to hearts, complementing the message and strengthening the spirit of worship.

Children’s Choir

Our church offers two joyful opportunities for children to sing and serve the Lord through music:
Master Clubs Choir (ages 3–6th grade) sings regularly during special services and programs, helping young hearts learn worship and Scripture through song.
Little Girls & Little Boys Choirs (ages 5–6th grade) give boys and girls a chance to sing separately, building confidence and character while praising God together.
These choirs are more than just musicβ€”they’re a ministry, shaping hearts and voices for His glory.

Teen Choir

Open to students in 7th–12th grade, our Teen Choir leads in worship with energy, heart, and a growing passion for serving the Lord. Through regular practices and opportunities to sing in church services and special events, teens build their musical skills while learning to honor God with their voices. It’s more than singingβ€”it’s training the next generation of spiritual leaders.

Media Ministry

Our Media Ministry plays a vital role in every service at Faith Baptist Church. From running the house sound and managing live projectors to overseeing presentations and operating the live stream, this team works behind the scenes to ensure each message is seen and heard clearly. We also record our servicesβ€”both video and audioβ€”for later distribution online and over the radio, helping us reach souls far beyond the church walls.

Our team needs more hands. Contact Bro. Jonathan Carr if you’re interested in joining the media team.
