The Music and Fine Arts Ministry of First Baptist extends beyond Sunday morning to offer outstanding recitals, concerts and theatrical performances throughout the year.

Our recently acoustically-renovated sanctuary offers a magnificent venue for organ, piano and vocal recitals as well as large orchestra and choir offerings. Organizations such as Apollo's Fire and The Heights Chamber Orchestra present some of their concerts here. Many other visiting musical ensembles have performed here.

The Happy Ending Lyric Players (HELP), the church's resident performing theatrical troupe, yearly presents a Broadway musical. 2009 marks HELP's 33nd Season! This season's musical was South Pacific by Rodgers and Hammerstein. Next spring's production will be Fiddler on the Roof.

The Arts Outreach Ministry was begun at First Baptist Church as an additional expression of the arts which would help the congregation reach further into the city with opportunities for performing and visual artists and audience members. We envision using theater, dance and other artistic outlets to feature programs bridging cultures, generations and races, and engage people in works that deal with topics of concern.
