Welcome to FBC
What will I find when I visit First Baptist?

When you come in the front doors, you will be greeted by Bob Shurr or Ron Sheets who will be glad to see you.  They will give you some information about the church and show you where things are.  If you have young children and would like nursery services they will show you where the nursery is as well as classrooms, restrooms and sanctuary.  They will give you a bulletin that has information about the morning service as well as things that are going on at First Baptist. 

 

What about Parking?

You can either park in front of the church on SR 26 or in the parking lot on the west side of the church. Watch the street as you cross!  We have spaces reserved by the sidewalk on the west side of the church for those who need the shortest distance to walk.  Call ahead of time (or from your car when you arrive) if you would like wheelchair assistance or just a helping hand getting in the building. 883-5079

 

What will the service be like?

Our worship services are informal and you may find folks dressed casually or wearing coats and ties.  All are welcome.  In our song service, we may sing a blend of traditional hymns and contemporary songs.  The words are projected in front of the church and are easy to read.  If you don't know the songs being sung, that's ok.  Just enjoy the music and listen to the messages.  We are here to worship the Lord and sing to Him.  Join in as you are comfortable.  There will be prayers and announcements of what is going on as well as a message from God's Word.  There are Bibles in most pews if you didn't bring yours or simply ask an usher to provide one.  Since we are human, there will probably be some mistakes made here and there, and hopefully, they will at least bring a chuckle. 

We welcome you and hope you are drawn to the Lord.  It is our prayer that you find a connection to God during your visit. 

 

Want to talk to someone or have someone pray with you?

If you would like someone to talk to you about what you have seen or heard in the service, please ask an usher or just grab someone by the hand.  They'll be happy to talk with you and pray with you if you desire.  We are here not to build church program.  We are here to help each other as we follow Christ in our lives.  We welcome you to walk along this path with us. 

 

What if I have a physical impairment?

We understand the difficulties physical impairments can provide and have taken some steps to make it easier for you to come to church. 

For those with hearing problems, we have a system that uses a comfortable over-the-ear headphone to amplify the PA system.  You can use these headphones without removing your hearing aid. 

If you have difficulty with stairs, we have  chair-lift assist to help with getting from the entrance to the sanctuary.  Restrooms are upstairs and downstairs. 

Call ahead of time (or from your car when you arrive) if you would like wheelchair assistance or just a helping hand getting in the building. 883-5079
