Here at First Baptist Graham, we worship in a style that we like to call Classic Worship. We sing all the traditional hymns with the pipe organ, as well as some of the more contemporary hymns and choruses composed in the last couple of decades. Our Chancel Choir sings mostly contemporary anthems accompanied by the organ or piano.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our staff and our laypeople share in leading parts of each service.<\/p>\n

We welcome you to come dressed however you chose – either dresses and coats and ties, or polo shirts, khakis or jeans.<\/p>\n

We have a great staff, headed up by our Pastor, Rev. Dr. Chris Howe.<\/p>\n

Our Sunday services are conducted @ 11:00 am. The services are broadcast live on radio stations 920-AM or 104.5FM. Our Sunday service is also live-streamed thru these sites:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
