Visiting any church for the first time can be a tough experience. Your first visit to First Baptist will be refreshing, friendly, and enjoyable for your whole family. We want you to experience inspiring music, helpful teaching and preaching, friendly people, and a place where you feel welcome and “at home”! Here are a few answers to your questions and what you might expect on your first visit.
What can I expect on my first visit?
Find a place to park, and as you make your way in you will receive a warm welcome from our church family. We always enjoy some good music before the worship service begins, and you will receive a special message from God’s Word presented by our pastor.
What type of music do you have in your services?
We sing out of a hymnal and have traditional, refreshing music.
Do you have something for my kids?
Yes. We have a Nursery that is staffed with loving, competent workers for every service. There are Sunday School classes during the 9:30 hour for all ages. We have a Junior Church during the 10:45 Morning Service as well, with age-appropriate lessons and activities.
Wednesday nights (during the school year) we have Anchor Club and Noah’s Friends for kids K-6 and Mountaineer Youth Group for teens 7th-12th grade.
What should I wear?
There is not a dress code at First Baptist Church for members or guests. Our ministry leaders and many of our church family dress in more traditional “Sunday” dress; however, our main goal is that you would feel welcome and comfortable on your visit here at First Baptist!
Am I expected to participate in the offering?
No. We don’t invite you to First Baptist Church for your offering. We want our service to be a gift to you. We hope you will find in this place a warm family spirit, truth from God’s Word, and a place where you can grow in God’s grace. Please don’t feel any obligation to participate in the offering.
Other questions?
If there’s something we missed on this list, just give us a call, or ask someone when you arrive. Whether you’re new to the area and looking for a church home, or if it’s been a long time since you’ve attended church at all, we hope your first visit at First Baptist will be awesome! We hope you’ll feel right at home from the very first moment you step onto the property! Let us know how we can serve you better, and we hope to meet you this Sunday!
