What to expect at a service at First Baptist Church

---

Baptist churches emphasize Scripture, a clear gospel message, and music — and welcome visitors to observe freely.

• Services usually run 60–90 minutes: worship songs, a Bible-centered sermon, and an invitation to respond.
• Communion (called the Lord's Supper) is observed periodically. Practice varies: some churches welcome everyone who has professed faith in Christ, while others, including many Missionary Baptist congregations, reserve it for members of the local church.
• Dress is casual; families are welcomed and children are often part of the service.

Generalized notes for first-time visitors. Individual churches vary — when in doubt, ask a greeter at the door.
