WHAT TO EXPECT

We know that choosing a church family can be a tough decision. You may be looking to find a place to develop life-long friendships and relationships. Perhaps you’re searching for a place that you can hear biblically-relevant messages that offer real-life application. Maybe you are looking for a church that has ministries for everyone in your family. Whatever your reason, we believe we can be an encouragement to you and your entire family no matter where you find yourself in life's journey. If you are looking for a church family, join us for one of our dynamic worship services and/or Bible studies. We look forward to meeting you.

WHEN YOU ARRIVE ON CAMPUS…

. . . turn on your hazards to alert our parking attendants you are visiting with us, and one of them will escort you to a guest parking space. Once inside, you will be welcomed by our greeters who will direct you to the worship center (8:15/10:45 a.m. worship services), fellowship hall (9:15 a.m. worship service), or a Sunday School classroom, as well as answer any questions you may have. In addition, they will offer to show you our adult classrooms or our student/children's ministry areas.

IF YOU HAVE A BABY…

. . . you are welcome to bring your infant into the worship center and/or fellowship hall. However, if you would like to utilize our infant environment, we encourage you to take advantage of our supervised nursery with skilled and loving caregivers, who have successfully passed a criminal background check.

AS YOU ENTER THE WORSHIP CENTER OR FELLOWSHIP HALL…

. . . ushers are available to assist you should you have any questions, special needs regarding seating, and/or other general questions. Should special needs arise during the service, feel free to go to an usher to request assistance.

DURING EACH SERVICE...

. . . we welcome our first time guests. We won't put you on the spot or call you to the front. We will provide you with any information you request; we just ask that you fill out and turn in the Welcome Card to help us register your visit with us. As a first-time guest to Friendly Avenue Baptist Church, we want to show you our appreciation for visiting. Make sure you see either Dr. Matt Queen or Dr. Doris Henderson to receive a free copy of the book, God’s Promises for Your Every Need. Also, we would like to invite you to make a reservation on the Welcome Card, found in your bulletin, for a free dinner with Pastor Pat on Wednesday, from 5:30-6:30 p.m.

OUR WORSHIP SERVICES...

. . . at Friendly Avenue Baptist Church offer three opportunities for you to worship. At 8:15 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. in the Worship Center we meet for traditional worship, which includes relevant life messages and a blend of hymns and contemporary praise songs that express our love and commitment to Jesus Christ. Friendly Avenue’s Worship Choir and Orchestra provide powerful, Spirit-filled leadership in the 10:45 worship hour. At 9:15 a.m. we host a band-driven celebration service in the Fellowship Hall led out by our various Praise Bands. You can grab a bagel and a cup of coffee and enjoy the same challenging messages, but with a little more modern feel to the style of music. In all three services you can expect to hear relevant, faithful messages from the Bible, God’s Word, and uplifting music that will encourage you in your faith.
