We'd Love to Meet You

Visiting any church can be a difficult and sometimes uncomfortable experience.

What do I wear?
What will be expected of me?
Should I bring my children?

These are normal questions anyone would have when visiting a church, and we want to help put your mind at ease. Our desire is that your visit at Mineral Springs Baptist be friendly and enjoyable for the whole family. 

We want you to experience Biblical teaching and preaching, loving and accepting people, and a real sense of being "at home." 

But most of all, we want you to experience the Love of God in Jesus Christ.

If there is anything we can do to make your visit more comfortable, please let us know!

 

FAQs

 

I have small children that may cry or be noisy?

We like to leave this decision up to the parents. After all, they’re your children and we want you to be comfortable. Crying babies and noisy children do not bother the pastor nor anyone else at MSBC. A church with no crying babies or noisy children is a dying church and we always welcome young ones at MSBC.  

However, if you desire, MSBC does have a fully stocked and staffed Nursery that is available if you have small children. Please ask the pastor when you arrive about the nursery and he will make all the necessary arrangements.

 

Will I be expected to give an offering?

No. We didn’t invite you for your offering.

We do not have a traditional offering time during the service. There is no “passing the plate” at MSBC. Your giving, or tithing, is between you and the Lord, not you and the church. At no time will you be pressured, or made to feel uncomfortable, with a designated offering/tithing time.

 

Is there a Dress Code?

We have no required "dress-code" at MSBC, for either members or guests. You will find that, at any service, you will see all types of different outfits, from suit-and-tie to jeans-and-t-shirt — and everything in between. Our main goal is that you feel welcome and comfortable during your visit here!

 

What is your service style?

Traditional. We usually sing 4 to 5 traditional hymns, have a regular “prayer-request” time during the singing and also a short “scripture reading”. When our song service has finished, the pastor will usually preach for 20 to 40 minutes, however long he is led by the Holy Spirit, then conclude with a time of invitation.

 

What bible translation is used?

Our pastor does not limit the preaching to a certain translation. Our pew bibles are the ESV translation, but he may preach from either the English Standard Bible, the Legacy Standard Bible, the King James Bible or the New King James Bible. He will however limit the bibles he preaches from to the Word-for-Word (Formal Equivalence) translation style.
