Media Ministry

The Media Ministry is the behind the scenes, technical support ministry of First Baptist Nacogdoches. The purpose of the Media Ministry is to carry the Gospel of Jesus Christ to our visually-driven, ever-changing world through the use of technology and media, and to equip other ministries of the church to use digital and electronic media as a worship and outreach tool.

From the technical side, the Media Ministry handles the audio, song lyrics, sermon notes, lighting, sermon recording, photography, videoing, and more. From the spiritual side, the Media Ministry's goal is to deliver content to the congregation and community with clarity, highest quality, excellence, and minimal distraction.

We are blessed to be able to broadcast our services (1-week delayed) on KTRE Channel 10 (ABC) Sunday mornings at 10:00am. This is a great way to worship with us if you are unable to attend our services in person.
