Visitors are always welcome at FBS! We have saved the back upper parking lot just for you and invite you to enter at the glass doors.

No matter where you come in, you’ll feel welcome. Don’t hesitate to ask questions or for directions.
We are big in size (our campus covers eighteen acres if stretched out) but also big in heart. We would love for you to become part of our family!
What do my children do?
If you have children (birth – sixth grade), we have fun, kid-friendly places just for them called The Woodlands (birth through Kindergarten) and The Kid Depot (1st through 6th grades).
They will experience ‘LIFE Groups 4 Kids’ offered during each worship hour, and KIDWORSHIP for 4 and 5 year olds. Plus, TOOL TIME for 1st-6th graders is a high-energy family friendly worship experience at 9AM the 1st Sunday of each month.
If you have a teenager in the 7th – 12th grades, they meet in the Hangar for their ‘age-graded’ LIFE Group and catch up with you for worship at the hour and location you and your family have chosen.
What goes on during the week?
Sundays are special here at First Baptist but the ministry of the church continues all week long!
