“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before His presence with singing!” These words of praise from Psalm 100 serve as a basis for our praise at First Baptist Church, Booneville. It is our desire to express that “He is God” through every aspect of our music ministry. It is our responsibility and privilege to worship the Lord through song.
