What to Expect

First Baptist Melbourne is a caring congregation that welcomes everyone. We want you to discover the joy that we share when we come together to worship God in spirit and in truth. If you are planning to visit on a Sunday morning, here are some hints to help you find your way around and know what to expect.

 

BIBLE STUDY

Sunday mornings, you will be greeted by a smiling face when you enter our building. These greeters can direct you to the Welcome Center where volunteers will hand you an order of worship and help you find a Bible Study class that is appropriate to your age and life stage.

Learn more about Bible study opportunities.

 

WORSHIP SERVICE

Our morning worship services begin at 9 and 10:40 in the Worship Center. Our members will be happy to help guide you there. Please take the opportunity before the service starts to silence all audible pagers, cell phones, and watch alarms.

As you enter the sanctuary, ushers will help you find a seat if necessary. The service usually begins with an instrumental prelude when you can prepare your heart for worship. Near the beginning of the service, you will be welcomed by one of our ministers, but not singled out in any way. Please give us the opportunity to know you better by filling out a visitor's card. Please place the completed card in the offering plate.

 

AFTER WORSHIP

Pastor Scott will be in the Hospitality Room after each service and would love to greet you personally. Please stop by, say hi, and help yourself to some refreshments.

Once you've visited, we hope that you'll choose First Baptist Melbourne to be your church home.
