    Questions You May Have

    Where are you located?

    We are located at 151 South Hill Street in Toccoa, GA, just south of downtown.

    What denomination is your church?

    Officially, we are associated with the Southern Baptist Convention, the Georgia Baptist Mission Board, and the Tugalo Baptist Association. However, we welcome all members of the body of Christ from all denominations or none to come worship with us.

    What happens in your 11 AM Worship Service?

    In our Sunday morning worship, we have times of congregational singing using hymns mixed with songs that are more recent. Generally, our Adult Choir will also sing, as well as a soloist. One of our pastors will then present a message, or sermon, based on the Bible, God’s word. During this time we will also worship through prayers, fellowship, an offering, and announcements.

    What kind of music do you sing?

    Although our soloists and choirs sing a variety of styles, our congregation sings a mixture of hymns and songs that have been written more recently.

    Our singing is generally accompanied by the piano, an organ, and lightly played drums. Our choir and soloists will tend to use pre-recorded tracks.

    What ages are a part of your church?

    Our congregation is composed of young children to senior adults. There is a place for everyone on Sunday morning.

    How should I dress?

    Our members join us for worship dressed in casual to more formal attire, with all styles in between. Dress comfortably and modestly to fit right in.

    Will I be asked to give money?

    Although we receive an offering during our services and anticipate that our members will give generously to support our ministries, there is no pressure to give or any expectation that our guests will donate.

    Should I bring a Bible?

    We encourage everyone to bring a copy of God’s word to church. However, Bibles are provided in the pews, and you may find others who use electronic devices to follow along with scripture readings.

    Will I be made to feel bad or guilty?

    Many of the messages or sermons our pastors share will be uplifting and encouraging. Some will challenge our hearts and lives. However, if the Holy Spirit convicts or challenges you in some part of your life, we see that as an opportunity for you to grow closer to God.

    I have young children. Is there a place for them?

    Although some parents bring their children into the sanctuary for our worship service, we also provide a nursery for very young children and a worship time designed especially for older children.

    Do you have other times of worship and Bible study?

    Absolutely! We have an adult prayer and worship service in our sanctuary on Wednesdays at 7:00 PM. During this time, the teenagers, our 151 Student Ministry for Middle and High School, gather for their own time of learning and worship, while our children’s ministry includes Adventure Kids, an opportunity for them to learn and grow.

    We also provide a Bible Study time for all ages each Sunday morning at 9:45.
