What can I expect on my first visit?
Most adults attend the worship service where they enjoy the beautiful and inspiring music of the singers, congregation and soloists. The music is always followed by a clear, helpful, and challenging Bible message from Pastor Hopson. This service is a little over one hour in length.
Also before the worship service there are Bible Classes for every age group.These classes are smaller group settings where you are invited to meet people, enjoy perhaps some coffee and donuts, and hear a teaching lesson more directly applicable to your life-stage. The best way to get to know people at Fellowship Baptist Church is to visit one of these adult Bible classes.
Where do I take my children?
Starting with excellent nursery, there is something special for every age child. At every service there is a safe, clean, and highly staffed nursery for children three years old and under.
For children four years old through sixth grade there are fun, friendly, and Bible-centered classes. These classes are staffed with trained, friendly, and well-qualified teachers and helpers who will make church exciting and memorable for your child.
We would like to help you find the appropriate childcare, classes, and services for every person in your family. Our greeters and ushers are located around campus as well as in the lobby of the main worship center and will gladly help direct and even escort you to the right place.
What about my teens?
Our student ministries are broken down into three main divisions: junior high, high school, and College & Career. Most of the teens attend a class for one hour and then a worship service another hour with their parents.
How should I dress?
There is not a dress code at Fellowship Baptist Church for members or guests. Our ministry leaders and many of our church family dress in more traditional “Sunday” dress; however, our main goal is that you would feel welcome and comfortable on your visit here at Fellowship Baptist!
