What To Expect

What should I expect when I attend Friendly Baptist Church?
It is hard to walk into a new place with lots of people you do not know. The most important thing for you to know is that Friendly Baptist Church is one of the friendliest churches you'll ever find. You do not have to worry about being judged or thought differently of. We are going to love on you just as we do our own family. We all have stories to share…this is a place where we would love to hear our story.
 
What do people wear?
Some of our folks wear casual clothes like jeans or slacks. Some wear suits or dresses. No one is uncomfortable!
 
Am I going to be singled out in any way?
No. We would love for you to fill out a visitor's card, if you would like, so we can get to know you better, but you do not have to. You are free to come as often as you like. We hope you'll linger after the worship service so we can meet you and get to know you.
 
How long does worship last?
Our typical morning worship service goes from 10:00 – 11:10. This service normally consists of singing songs to the Lord, praying, and praising the Lord as our choir leads in worship. The pastor's message usually lasts 30-40 minutes. At the end of each message, an invitation is offered for those sharing salvation decisions, wanting to join our church, wanting to counsel with one of the pastors, or just wanting to pray at the altar.
