We recognize that many people who visit a church for the first time will have questions on what to expect when they visit, but we hope that you feel welcomed and comfortable when you visit us at First Baptist Church. Here is a little Q and A that we hope will ease some of your fears.
What happens at a typical worship service?
Our church service is broken into three sections.
You’ll receive a bulletin (program) prior to the service which will outline the plan for that Sunday’s worship.
Starting at 9:00 we have a meditation period, where a speaker will come with a mediative thought to help get you ready for main message.
Then at 9:15 we have our Sunday School lesson. We have one class in the sanctuary which is also livestreamed.
Then at 10 am our main service starts
Most of the time this includes a mix of prayer, song, scripture readings, a sermon and opportunity for those gathered to share prayer requests with the congregation. Additionally, we offer holy communion the first Sunday each month
How long is a typical worship service?
Most worship services last about two hours. Many folks like to visit with others in the congregation before and after worship, so feel free to arrive early or stay late if you’re so inclined!
What should I wear?
Wear what makes you comfortable and dress as who you are. Members of our congregation come from all walks of life and you can see it in the way we dress. We believe that God cares more about the state of our hearts than the state of our attire, and encourage you to dress the way that feels most appropriate to you.
Do you offer support for those with disabilities?
Our church has a accessibility ramp and an elevator to aid those who are in need.
Do you offer childcare or Sunday School?
We do not, currently, have childcare, but we do have a Children and Youth ministry for children 5 years and older. They are release for our church service around the alter prayer time and they go to a classroom and have there own studies.
