Music Minister Russell RowlandWorship is the outward expression of the inward relationship that exists between you and your Heavenly Father. It is responding to all God is with all that we are.

The Worship Ministries of Swartz First Baptist have but one goal, to facilitate a spiritual, emotional, and physical worship experience with our Heavenly Father.

Congregational Singing, Celebration Choir, Worship Band, Praise Team, Dramatic Production, Audio and Video presentations, and Concert events are just the tools we use to make that experience possible.

Praise BandThe Worship Experience at Swartz First is our “front door.” Come on in. Make yourself at home. Get a taste of who we are. But even more, experience a life changing encounter with Jesus Christ. Then join us in responding to all God is with all that we are.

Celebration Choir
If you have a passion for worship and a desire to help lead Swartz First in worship … then come join the Celebration Choir. This group of dedicated adults worships and leads our congregation in worship weekly. Through a wide variety of traditional anthems, hymn arrangements, and contemporary worship songs they strive to present quality music that Encourages the Unbeliever, Edifies the Believer, and Exalts the Father. We are a family sharing our faith through music and one another’s burdens through prayer. If you love to sing in the shower, in your car, or in worship, come and join us.
