I'm Lost!

1. How do I get there? Easy to find, about 7 miles from Azle on 730 South.  To get here from Azle, take 730 South towards Weatherford,  FM 1886 will be on the left.  Directly opposite the intersection of 1886 is a Volunteer Fire Department. We are at that corner on the left. You will recognize us as the large pale yellow, metal building with a sign on the end over the side entrance.

2. Where should I park? Our parking lot is large and right in front of the church.  There is a drive through portico, for dropping off a person who has a handicap or needs special assistance.  If unloading riders in this area, pull through carefully, watching for pedestrians exiting the building.

3. How to find your way around on the inside… The main entrance is under the portico on the long side of the building.  Along either side of the hall are  classrooms, nursery, kitchen, rest-rooms and offices, and at the opposite end is the sanctuary.

4. What is the service schedule?

Children's Class

Sunday School 9:15 a.m.-10:15 a.m. Worship Service 10:30 a.m.

Worship lasts about 1 1/2 hours. Immediately after praise music, children are dismissed to Children’s Church and then Pastor Baker brings the message.

Sunday Evening  Service 6:00 p.m.  Pastor Baker will preach.  Youth will be with the youth leaders for their own activities.

If you come a little early we can meet and mingle, and get to know a bit about you while you get to know us.  But we don’t mind if you come in late.  Visitors are always welcome no matter when they show up.  Don’t worry, just come in and find a seat.

5. What should I expect on Sunday morning? When you arrive someone will greet you with a smile and give you a bulletin.  Make your way into the sanctuary and feel free to sit anywhere you like.  If you come for Sunday School, someone will direct you to the proper class.  Many people come in early, get a cup of coffee and visit with each other before classes or service.  You are welcome to join in at any time.

6. What will you learn? We believe that through the preaching & teaching of God’s Word, we can learn, apply, & become what God wants us to be.  We have the opportunity each week to learn from verse by verse preaching, as well as occasional topical studies.

7. What goes on Wednesday evenings? At 6:00 the youth meet for games and fellowship in the youth building. At 7:00 we gather in the sanctuary for a Bible study.  Teens are welcome to join in or stay with the youth.  Children will go with Wes & Angel Mason for a Bible lesson.

8. Where do my children go?

* Nursery: For infants and toddlers up to age four.   It is well equipped and  staffed with an adult & teen helper.  Parents may stay until their child is comfortable in the nursery or they may stay the entire time if need be.

* Children’s Sunday School Classes: Signs on doors will assist you in finding your child’s class or someone will show you the way. We encourage you to spend a few minutes meeting your child’s teacher.

At 10:30 kids participate in praise & worship in the sanctuary with their parents.  Pastor Jon will dismiss them to children’s church after singing, offering and prayer.

9. Who teaches the Sunday School classes?

Children: Vicki Trayweek         Youth: Wes & Angel Mason         Adults: Lloyd McCarroll

Vicki Trayweek, Children's Class

10. What type of worship music? Our music comes from a variety of sources, from hymn books to contemporary praise & worship songs on a big screen slide show.   We have a choir to perform specials now and then.  If you are interested in being a part of the music ministries, either vocally or playing an instrument, please let us know. Your voice or instrumental talent will be welcomed here!   Music is being led by our interim worship leader, Lloyd McCarroll (see above, also serving as Adult Sunday School teacher)

11. Visitor Card? This is found attached to your bulletin.  This information will allow us to get to know you or to respond to any needs or questions.  Your personal information is kept confidential.

12. Offering: Am I expected to put money in the offering plate?  No.   An offering plate will be passed during Sunday morning worship service, but don’t feel that you need to make a donation.   As our guest, you aren’t expected to contribute to the offering.   We only ask that you put in your visitior card.   The offering is given by our members and regular attendees to give as the Lord has directed them.

13. What should I wear? On Sunday morning the men wear anything from blue jeans to suits.   Women wear jeans, slacks or dresses.   Wednesday nights are even more casual.   Come as you are – we’ll be glad you’re here, no matter what you wear!

14. What should I bring with me? If you have a Bible, bring it with you.  If not, we have Bibles available.

15. How do I join? An opportunity is given each Sunday at the close of service.  At this time, people needing prayer, anointing, to join the church, salvation, etc. are encouraged to come to the Pastor with whatever needs and concerns they may have.
