The Worship Ministries Department of the Mississippi Baptist Convention Board exists to

passionately pursue its mission to resource, equip, and encourage Mississippi Baptist churches and worship leaders.

In alignment with Ephesians 4:12, which calls us “to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up,” the department is dedicated to providing vital support and resources to nurture the spiritual growth and ministry effectiveness of worship leaders and worship ministries across the state. Through a wide range of events, training sessions, and consultations, we have sought to empower those who lead our congregations in worship, ensuring they are well-prepared to guide others into meaningful encounters with God.
