We have three Bible Study hours at 8:00, 9:30 and 11:00 am. Each of these last one hour and ten minutes. In each, there are class options for all ages (newborns through senior adults).

What about my children? Is there a safe and fun place for them?
Newborns through college age all have great Bible Study options. We have wonderful ministries for preschoolers, children, and students where they will study Biblical truths while interacting with others their age and creating meaningful relationships. Each class is led by adults trained to teach with all the care and concern your child needs. The Student Ministry (grades 7-12 and collegiate) meets at 9:30 and 11:00 am and has a high-octane, high-relationship hour that feeds the needs of today’s students. [top]
What is the worship service like?
First Baptist offers two types of worship services.
9:30 Worship with choir and orchestra
11:11 A more casual, band driven service with teaching from our pastor.[top]
What should I wear? How should I dress?
Comfortably! Come casual or dress up. People wear anything from shorts and jeans to dresses and sport coats. In the summer months, the ministry staff does not wear ties and suits and the choir does not wear robes. [top]
What kind of people will be there?
We are a pretty ordinary group of people. We reflect much of the north Texas suburban life. If you live in the area, you will see children who attend school with your children, people who work in Dallas and people who work locally. There are families, senior adults, single adults and lots of children and students. [top]
Where do I go when I arrive?
Head for the big steeple. Our main entrance is located under the larger of two steeples on the west end of our property. There is guest parking outside that entrance and once you enter the doors, you will be greeted by any number of people who are all willing to help you find a Bible Study or place in the Worship Center (deacons, ushers, and greeters all wear name tags that identify them). For more detailed information, just inside the main doors is a Welcome Center that is staffed with knowledgeable and helpful people. [top]
Do I need to bring anything?
No. If you want to bring a Bible, feel free to do so. We do provide Bibles, and we also project songs and scripture verses on overhead screens in the Worship Center. [top]
Can I remain anonymous?
Absolutely! We realize many people want to check out our church without calling attention to themselves. However, you may want to fill out a guest registration card. If you do, you will either receive a call from a staff minister or a bag of information and goodies dropped off at your home (not an in-home visit). If you trust us with this information, we will prove trust-worthy and only use it in appropriate ways. [top]
