What to Expect
We are delighted that your interest in our church has led you this far. By now you might be considering a personal visit, but you're still a little unsure of what you can really expect once you arrive. Here's a little information we hope will help answer some of those questions.
A young church
First, you can expect to find the exciting atmosphere of a young, growing church. In this warm and intimate atmosphere, everyone is a newcomer! Sometimes we can feel out of place where everybody knows everybody but you, but at Foundation Baptist, you will naturally fit right in.
A warm welcome
When you arrive you will be warmly greeted and receive a bulletin with the order of service (for Sunday mornings) and announcements to familiarize you with what is happening at FBC. In this bulletin will be a card for you to fill out so we can get to know you and better serve you. You can leave this card on your seat or simply drop it in the offering plate when it comes by (we certainly do not expect you to give anything else in the offering. You are our guest!). Upon your first visit with us, you will also receive a gift to show our appreciation with a packet of information about our church.
An appropriate atmosphere
Since this is where we meet and worship the Lord, the atmosphere will naturally be appropriate to facilitate this purpose. For instance, with this thought in mind, typically you will find that our members dress nicely our of reverence for God's House -- but remember, you are our guest! We will simply be delighted to have you! Dress in whatever makes you feel comfortable (seriously, we don't care). We just thought you might appreciate a head's up. Nothing's worse than feeling out of place, and we want you to feel right at home when you come!
Bible preaching
You can expect to hear truths from the Bible that are applicable to your everyday life and necessary for your spiritual growth. Christ said His teachings could be compared to a physician’s diagnosis and treatment, so at Foundation Baptist Church you can expect to hear preaching that will give you an accurate diagnosis of your life before God. When you make a doctor’s visit, sometimes you’re encouraged by your clean bill of health. Sometimes you are challenged to make changes for the better. No matter what you hear from your doctor, you’ll always want the truth, and truth is just what you can expect from the preaching here.
Godly music
You can expect to hear uplifting music with time-honored messages that will encourage your heart and strengthen your faith. You will find our music to contain well thought out lyrics that are rich and deep yet very easy to sing and comprehend, just as you will find in the great hymns. Even if you’ve never sang much before, at Foundation Baptist Church you will find it a joy to sing from your heart.
A passion for ministry
Expect to find a place where meeting the needs of your entire family is our ministry passion! Our passion to minister to your needs begins with the clean, safe, well maintained nursery for our infants and exciting Bible classes for our kids. Our passion to help you through the teen years has grown our youth ministry into a life-changing experience for our teens. As we grow, this passion for ministry will grow too, as we add more specialized ministries for every stage of life. For now, as a young church, we can offer you the building blocks of these ministries, but you can expect great things ahead!
A loving pastor
Lastly, you can expect to find a loving pastor who will take great interest in caring for your spiritual needs. Pastor Matt will take the time to get to know you personally and invest in your life throughout the week (not just on Sundays). So what are you waiting for? Be our guest and expect to find a church you will love to call "home!"
