Services at First Baptist have a decidedly ecumenical flavour, drawing
on the great liturgical traditions of Christianity. Music is led by a
30-voice Choir supported by a pipe organ, and most services have an
unaccompanied Motet, an Anthem, and four hymns. First Baptist follows
the Revised Common Lectionary and is known for strong preaching. On
the first Sunday each month we celebrate Holy Communion, which is open
to all Christians who would ordinarily commune in their own church.
