I'M NEW
WHAT TO EXPECT
Coming through the entrance doors, you will be greeted by a smiling face and offered a bulletin that will include a connection card, sermon notes for the day’s lesson, and the church calendar. You will be directed to the nursery if you have infants and introduced to the kid’s ministry area if you have children. All children, teens and adults will be directed to the auditorium for the worship service (children come into the auditorium and are dismissed to Kid’s Church during the second worship song).
Inside the auditorium you will be greeted by many smiling faces of helpful people wanting to make you feel right at home. You will be invited to enjoy a cup of coffee, tea or juice with a doughnut before the worship service begins.
WHAT ABOUT MY KIDS?
Have kids? No worries, we've got you covered. We provide childcare from newborn to 4 years old for all of our services. Children Ages 5 - 12 will enjoy Kid's Church to which all children are dismissed during the second worship song.
Worship
During the worship service, there will be opportunities to sing hymns and gospel songs old and new together. Our worship style is traditional. There will be a short time of announcements and an offering will be taken. The offering is an opportunity for our regular attenders to give towards the operating expenses and special programs of the church. Guests are welcome to give an offering, but should not feel obligated. A Bible message will be preached and the service will conclude with a song. Worship services are one hour long
What Should I Wear
Wear what you feel comfortable wearing to church. You will see various styles at Freedom Baptist: jeans, shorts, t-shirts, polos, buttoned shirts, suits and ties, pants, dresses etc.!
