Question 2

Which entrance to the church should I use?

Answer

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 on the west side of the building leading into the Atrium area. Greeters are located near each of our church entrances on Sunday morning. These greeters can direct you to the proper Sunday School class, the sanctuary or chapel depending on your worship service time choice, and the preschool area if you have children. Guest parking spaces (and handicapped parking areas) are located on both the east and west sides of the building. The exterior door to our preschool area is locked from the outside on Sunday mornings for the protection and safety of our children. Come to any other door and you will find people who are more than willing to assist you in finding your needed location.

Question 3

What should we wear, what do others wear to church on Sunday mornings?

Answer

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 very casual attire. So we would encourage you to dress as you are used to in other churches or whatever makes you comfortable.

Question 4

How can I find the right Sunday School class?

Answer

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.
