What to Expect
Sundays
We have two services each Sunday:
- 8:30 Modern Worship led by a praise team.
- 11:00 Traditional Worship led by a choir.
Every month with a 5th Sunday we have one combined service at 10:30.
Sunday School small groups are held at 9:45 each Sunday. Learn more about our Sunday School classes here.
What Should I Wear?
We don't have a dress code. You will find people dressed in everything from jeans and shorts to suit and tie. Dress comfortably and come join us in worship!
Where Should I Enter?
The white wooden doors on Harvey Street or Main Street will take you directly to the Sanctuary. The covered entrance in the back of the church will take you to our preschool area, where our greeters can guide you to our children's check-in or to the Sanctuary.
What Are Your Services Like?
Our services begin with a time of corporate worship through song. Words are displayed on the screen and hymnals are available in the back of the pew. Following our time of worship through song our pastor delivers an expositional message from Scripture in order to train, encourage, and uplift. Following the message we close with one song, during which those who wish to give, pray, or receive pastoral counsel are invited to come to the front.
On the first Sunday of every month, and during special holidays, we have corporate communion. You do not have to be a member of First Baptist in order to participate in communion with us. The only requirement is that you have made a profession of faith that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Savior of your life. During the 8:30 service everyone comes down to receive communion from the pastors of First Baptist. During the 11:00 service deacons assist in passing the elements to you in your seat.
