When I arrive, where should I go?
Our Hospitality Team will warmly greet you, and will gladly help direct you and/or your children to the appropriate classroom or group.
What about my children?
We have classes for all age groups, even a well-prepared nursery for babies from birth to 4-years-old. All of our workers are trained and prepared to care safely and professionally for your children.
How should I dress?
Dress the way you are most comfortable. We have members who like to dress formally, so ladies will wear dresses, and men will dress in a suit and tie. Our pastor teaches in a suit and tie. But there are many others who wear more casual clothes. All are welcome, and you'll see all styles of dress.
Do you have different options for Worship?
We currently have two Sunday morning worship services:
Our Early Service is at 8:30 am, and is typical of many Southern Baptist churches. Our crowd at this service is more intimate, and our praise team and worship leader lead us into the presence of God through hymns. We use more keyboard and voices to worship through music in this service.
Our Late Service is at 11:00 am, and is more casual and energetic in its worship style. Our worship leader is joined by our live praise band and voices from the praise team as they lead us into the presence of God. The music in this service is uplifting and Christ-centered praise, and helps direct our hearts into the presence of God and prepare our hearts to listen to His Word. During this service, we provide all children 4 years old through 4th grade the opportunity to participate in Children's Church.
What is the style of preaching?
Preaching is done by our Senior Pastor. After 10 years on the mission field in Brazil, and with over 25 years ministry experience, he presents the Word of God in practical ways that powerfully influence daily life.
Will I be "highlighted" or called upon during worship services?
No. There will be a brief word of welcome at the beginning of the service, but as a visitor, you will not be pointed out or called upon to say anything. We simply invite you to let us help you on your spiritual pilgrimage by letting us know how we can pray for you. If you would like someone to call on you, or if you would like more information about our church, you can indicate that on the card, and we will be happy to get it to you as soon as possible.
What else should I know?
Our desire is to help you experience the Risen Christ in your daily life. He is in the transforming business! If we can help you meet Him, and learn to walk with Him as your Lord and Savior, we will feel greatly privileged. If there is anything we can do for you to that end, we would be honored and count it a blessing. Enjoy RHBC, and please contact us if there is anything more you would like to know.
