Music at Hominy

Worship at Hominy Baptist is carefully structured, but
intentionally personal, with an informal medley of experiences.

We follow the liturgical calendar (Advent, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Pentecost, etc) with a flexibility that reflects our Baptist roots.

A variety of musical styles, ensembles and musicians, visual and sensory experiences, and Gospel proclamation are woven together around a unifying theme each week. People wear what they feel comfortable in, and know that they are welcomed and accepted for who they are in God' eyes.
