About

what to expect

We would love to have you come and check out First Bible Baptist Church on a Sunday morning. We have two services every week at 8:30 and 10:30 am. We know that going to a new place for the first time can be uncomfortable, so we want to do everything that we can to make you feel at home when you come.

When you come in to church, you will be greeted by some smiling faces! If you have any questions, our greeters would be happy to assist you in finding everything you need.

We have Nurseries and Sunday Schools for the children for both of our services each week. We invite you to show up a little bit early to see where your child will be during the service, get them registered, and meet some of the people that will be there to make your child’s time amazing!

Jr & Sr High students have a class just for them during the 10:30 service.

our service

Our church service usually starts with a few songs of worship, followed by a compelling message from God’s word. We are a church that believes the Bible, and our messages come directly from it. If you bring a Bible, or plan to use a Bible app on your mobile device, it can make your experience even better.

After the service, we have a Guest Information Center in our commons area, where we’d like to invite you to stop by. There’s always some donuts and coffee for our first time guests there. Plus, someone from our hospitality team would like to meet you and talk to you more about what we can do for you and about First Bible in general.

what we believe

One of the core values of First Bible Baptist Church is that we are a “Church of the Word.” We believe that a person’s Beliefs will affect their Behavior, that their Doctrine will affect their Decisions. As a result, we emphasize the importance of the truths of the faith as well as the behaviors that will come from holding them.
