Our Mission
At First Baptist Church of Tempe, our Worship and Arts Ministries exist to help people encounter God and worship Him together in unity. We're a multi-generational church, so we choose songs that speak to the hearts of every age group—blending the old and the new to reflect the diversity of our church family.
Our worship services follow a thoughtful, Scripture-based flow that helps guide our hearts and minds toward Christ. Every song we sing is carefully chosen to make sure it’s rooted in solid, Biblical truth, and clearly points to Jesus.
One of our primary goals is for everyone to join in—whether singing in the congregation or serving on a team. We’re passionate about raising up worship leaders and musicians of all ages who love Jesus, serve with humility, and use their gifts to lead others well.
