Planning Your First Visit

Visiting any church for the very first time can be a tough experience. Well, we want to put you at ease. Your first visit to Calvary Baptist will be refreshing, friendly, and enjoyable for your whole family. We want you to experience inspiring music, helpful teaching and preaching, friendly people, and a place where you feel welcome and “at home”! Here are a few answers to your questions and what you might expect on your first visit.

What should I expect at your services?

Sunday School (10:00am) – Our Sunday School hour is designed to provide fellowship and discipleship in a group setting. Kids are divided into age-appropriate classes, while the adults meet together in our fellowship hall for encouraging discussion. We encourage questions and comments!

Sunday Night Service (6:00pm) – Our evening family service contains elements of the morning, only somewhat more laidback, a bit more brief, and the kiddo’s remain with us throughout the entire service. Pastor is aware of this and so he makes an effort to involve the kids in the message as well. We are currently working our way through the Old Testament in bite-sized chunks. We also take time to read an update from one of our missionary friends and take time to pray together.

Sunday Morning Service (11:00am) – All ages start together in the auditorium. After a call to worship we join our voices in worship. At CBC we love the timeless truth found in both old and new hymns. They are meaningful and exciting, never boring! Our service also includes a time of scripture reading and bowing together for worshipful prayer. Many will kneel at their seats during this time as a way of humbling themselves before God. After the music portion of our service, the children are dismissed to Children’s Church and adults and teens remain for the preaching service. Our pastor’s messages are almost always part of a series, going verse-by-verse through a book of the Bible. This helps us to learn the context of Scripture, while still making practical application for our lives today. Following the sermon there is always a response time called an “Invitation.” This is a time for anyone to spend some time in private prayer, responding to God’s Word to us. The service usually wraps up in the area of 12:15, but folks almost always hang around and visit afterwards. This is also a great time to ask questions or schedule a time to visit with our pastor.

Wednesday

Our midweek service meets at 6pm in our fellowship hall. We begin with a light meal and a time of fellowship. Our folks pitch in to make this meal happen, and we’d be honored to have you join us as our guest! After our meal (usually around 6:30) we have a study and discussion led by our pastor or one of the men in our church. This is always a practical topic or study and is appropriate for all ages. This “small group” format has proven to be a great way to grow in faith and connect with others. Come and join us!

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I wear?

At CBC we do not have a “dress code” While many of our folks will wear their “Sunday best” it is more important to us that you feel welcomed and loved when you come visit us
v

Will anyone speak to me?

Yes! Our folks are some of the friendliest around. You will probably be greeted several times. We try not to “smother” our guests, we simply want you to feel at home and know you are welcome!

Will I be asked for money?

No, the service is our gift to you. We do not expect you to participate in the offering as our guest.

Will I be pressured to join?

While church membership is vital for everyone’s spiritual growth, we understand that you’ll need some time to make this very important decision. You are welcome to attend for as long as is needed for you to discern your next step.

What about my kids?

Nursery is provided for babies through toddlers in every service. Jr Church for elementary-ages takes place during the Sunday morning service.We are a kid-friendly congregation, and we understand that some of the younger ones are still in “training.”

What if I have more questions?

Our Pastor is always eager to make time to meet with folks who have questions about the Lord or our church. Feel free to approach him or his wife after a service, or use the contact form below to reach out to him now!
