How do I get to First Baptist Church? We are located at 600 Governors Drive

 

 

Which entrance to the church should I use?   There are multiple entrances to our building, and the best one to use will be influenced by your family situation.  The most commonly used entrance is the East entrance, which is behind the sanctuary.  To get there, turn into the parking lot at the entrance nearest the mural, drive straight past the sanctuary, and the entrance will be on your left.  Once you come in the doors, greeters will welcome you and direct you to the Welcome Center, which can help you find Sunday School classes, the worship center, and other locations.  If you have young children, you may want to enter on the Governors Drive side of the church, which is close to our nursery and preschool classrooms.  From Governors Drive, turn into the parking lot and drive in front of the sanctuary (which has the mural on it) and come underneath the weather covering to drop off your family.  Then park in one of the visitor spots across from this.  From there, you can enter the building and find another Welcome Center, which can help you find Sunday School classes, the nursery, or other locations in the church.
 

What should we wear, what do others wear to church on Sunday mornings? Good questions. At First Baptist, you will find a variety of dress styles. There are many people who like to dress up and there are many who like to be more casual in their dress. You will see nice suits all the way to jeans. So we would encourage you to dress as you are used to in other churches or what ever makes you comfortable.

 

What is the Sunday Schedule? A complete schedule of the Sunday services are listed on our Worship Services page.

 

Which service should I attend?  We offer two worship services at First Baptist.  At 8:15, we have a contemporary service called First Fellowship, which meets in our Fellowship Hall except during the month of December. The music for this service is led by a praise band, and the dress is casual.  Various forms of media are used for you to come into contact with God's presence.   At 10:30, we have a morning worship service in our Sanctuary.  The music for this service is led by organ, choir, and orchestra, and ranges from classical anthems and hymns to more modern expressions of praise.  The same sermon is preached in both services.  We invite you to participate in the service where you experience God's presence.

 

How can I find the right Sunday School class?  We offer a wide variety of Sunday School classes for children, youth, and adults in all stages of life.  Our preschool, children, and youth are in classes based upon their age.  Adult classes are primarily based upon life stages.  There is a listing of these classes in both welcome centers, and more information here.

 

Is Childcare available during worship services?  Yes, childcare is available during both Sunday morning services for infants and children up to age 3.  Our Worship Care provides a caring atmosphere for children during worship.  

 

What about the Wednesday Night schedule?  Wednesday nights at First Baptist are filled with food, fellowship, music and Bible Study for all ages. Here is a complete listing of our Wednesday night schedule.  If you are interested in dinner, here is our current menu.
