Director of Worship Ministries

Associate Pastor of Worship

First Baptist Church of New Lebanon (FBCnl) is a growing church affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention in the village of New Lebanon, Ohio, with an average Sunday attendance of 350.

Our Mission

We exist to glorify God by working together to make disciples who change the world. 

We believe our chief purpose and greatest joy is found in glorifying God. We hold to the sufficiency and authority of Scripture. We believe the role of our ministry staff is not to do gospel ministry on behalf of others, but to equip God’s people for gospel ministry (Ephesians 4:12-16). 

Our Worship

Our Sunday morning worship services currently average 275 (adults and students). Our gatherings include prayer, singing, Scripture reading, and expositional teaching from God’s Word.  We desire our gatherings to lead people to celebrate and respond to the gospel.  

Our music is led by a band and fuses both sacred hymns and the new songs. 

The music we often sing is from:
