The honest answers
You're welcome
to wonder.
Here's what people usually ask before their first visit.
Where do I park?
We have two large parking lots. The church sits at the corner of Highways 959 and 63 — you can get to a lot from either side.
What time do I arrive?
Sunday School starts at 9:00 for all ages. Our Sunday morning service begins at 10:15, the Sunday evening service at 6:00, and Wednesday night at 6:00. Kids' and youth activities start at various times — see Ministries for all the ways they can plug in.
Where do I go?
If you're here for 9:00, park and head to the fellowship building — if you're looking at the sanctuary, it's the "little sanctuary" on the right. Sunday School classes for every age are in that building and the courtyard beside it.
If you're here for 10:15 or 6:00, head to the sanctuary for "big church" — use any door you like. Sit wherever. No one truly has assigned seating, and if they "usually" sit where you choose, they'd love to sit with you. We're flexible here.
Here for a youth event? Head to the fellowship hall, the youth room in the courtyard — or most likely the pickleball court in the courtyard.
What do I do with my kids?
Include them as much or as little as you'd like. We have a nursery for the little ones during Sunday School and both Sunday services — but don't feel obligated to use it if you'd rather have your kids in the service with you. It's really up to your family.
We're patient while kids learn the rhythm of church, and every family here is at a different place on that journey. We promise your kids will probably never do anything more distracting than our own pastor's kids have already done. Any "looks" you get will be in solidarity — we've all been there.
Birth to 3 meet in the nursery for Sunday School. Pre-K through high school meet in the classes next to the courtyard, off the "little sanctuary" we call the fellowship hall.
Where do I find the coffee?
Before Sunday School there's coffee in the fellowship building's kitchen. Head on in and make yourself a cup.
Do I need to dress up?
That's your call. As long as you're clothed, you'll fit right in. Some folks wear a suit or a dress; others prefer their Wranglers and boots. We've seen overalls right off the tractor and camo right off the stand. Comfortable is what matters.
What if I have special needs?
Tell us how we can serve you best. If you or your family have any special needs, email us and we'll do whatever we can to accommodate you.
What is the service like?
We're a pretty traditional Southern Baptist church. In a normal service we sing theologically rich, doctrinally sound hymns, spend time in prayer, have a special word for our children (with treats!), and then our pastor preaches a 30–40 minute expositional message straight from the text. If your kids are headed to the nursery, they can go to the back foyer after the children's time.
What happens after the service?
That's your call — but we'll probably be hanging out until they turn the lights off on us. People will want to meet you; our folks are genuinely charming and genuinely want to know you. Fill out a contact card and drop it in the offering, and our pastor will reach out during the week. He'd love to meet you for coffee — or his family would love to share a meal with yours.
