Music and Worship at Leawood Baptist Church

Worship:

We meet as a corporate body to worship on Sundays at 10:45 A.M. At Leawood Baptist Church we have chosen to offer a "blended" approach to worship. What is "blended"worship? In brief, blended worship is a blending of styles in worship. It incorporates traditional, as well as classical, and contemporary musical styles. We have chosen to blend these styles of worship in order to include all persons "in a worship that crosses traditions and joins them into one seamless robe, allowing the people of these various traditions to worship not as separate entities, but as one church." (Robert Webber)

Worship Schedule:
