The Pastor

Music has been central in Biblical worship since Moses gave thanks to God for the deliverance of the Israelites from the Egyptians in Exodus 15:1, 20- 21. Music is an integral part of our worship services at OBBC. There is music for the opening exercises of Sunday School. Hymns and praise choruses allow for congregational participation during each morning worship service.
The choir, a small group of dedicated members (click the Button on "Our Choir") practices weekly to bring a message through song. New members are always welcome. In weeks in which the choir does not sing, there is opportunity for individuals to contribute a musical selection to the worship service.
Special presentations, such as a cantata, take place at Christmas, and additional music is used for special services such as those during Holy Week. Sunday evening services feature a portion set aside for a "hymn sing" allowing those present to sing their favorite hymns or choruses.
To worship in song is only one way to express our true worship, but has been present throughout scripture and the history of the church.
"Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." Eph 5:19,20
