WORSHIP WITH US


We are thrilled to welcome you as our guest at FBC Allen! As you prepare for your first visit, we understand that you may have some questions. To help you feel more at ease, we have compiled a list of answers that be of assistance.


Sunday Worship

What time should I show up? [In Person]

Sunday worship begins at 10:30a. Most people arrive about 15 minutes early. Volunteers are happy to help you with preschool check-in* and find your way.

What can I expect during Sunday morning worship? [In-Person and Online]

Our Sunday morning worship services are about connecting individuals with God. We have worship at 10:30a in the Worship Center. Our online services also begin on Sundays at 10:30a.

Our worship team leads a blended service using modern worship songs and time-honored hymns of our faith. You will hear a message which offers a biblical response to today's issues. You can expect to be encouraged and challenged to live out your faith beyond Sunday morning.

Where should I park?

Guest parking is available immediately west of the Worship Center and in the north parking lot. Shuttle service has been suspended during the pandemic period.

What do Sunday services for my kids look like?
Birth-Kindergarten:

Preschool groups are available for both worship hours.

Babies and preschoolers enjoy classes during both worship hours in our preschool ministry. Our youngest attendees enjoy an age-appropriate Bible lesson and activity, prayer time, and a snack during their time with us. 

Our kindergartners begin attending worship with their families during one of the service times and participate in a Sunday morning small group, also known as Bible Fellowship Groups (BFGs), during the other hour. Each fall, just before the start of the school year, we host a special "Camp Big Enough" to offer tips to help in this transition and celebrate this milestone with our incoming kindergartners and their families.

Volunteers are available to help you check your child in for class. If you would like more information, you can contact Marita Richards, our Preschool Admin Assistant.

Children/Preteens (grades 1-6):

Children in grades 1-6 enjoy worship with their families for one hour and participate in a Sunday morning small group, also known as Bible Fellowship Groups (BFGs), during the other hour. During BFG, children are divided into small groups according to grade level. They have fun learning a Bible lesson, engaging in discussion time, and enjoying an activity designed to reinforce their learning.

Greeters are happy to assist you in checking your child in for class. For more information, contact Lezah Maitland, our Minister of Children.

Students in grades 7-12:

Students join in our regular worship and gather for Sunday morning small groups, also known as Bible Fellowship Groups (BFGs), in our student center, The Curb (map).

Our Welcome Desk volunteers are happy to help you get your student acquainted with others in the student ministry. For more information, contact Hayden Walsh, our Student Pastor.

Do you offer any small groups?

YES! We offer several on-site and online small group Bible studies, which meet every Sunday. We call these Bible Fellowship Groups (BFGs), and groups are available for all your family members.  BFGs are where we connect and share life's ups and downs. We're happy to help you find the right fit for you.

SMALL GROUPS  

What else is available?

WHO WE ARE

How do I join FBC Allen?

FBC Allen is not a building but a family of believers in Jesus Christ. You can become a member of the church in one of four ways:

1. Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and be baptized by immersion.

2. If you have already accepted Jesus but have not been baptized by immersion, follow Him in believer's baptism.

3. Transfer of membership by letter from another Baptist church.

4. Statement of having previously accepted Christ and experienced baptism by immersion as a member of another Baptist or Bible-teaching church.

Do you have more questions about baptism and church membership?
