Frequently asked questions by first-time guests:


What should I expect the church to be like?
Expect to meet a wide variety of friendly people of all ages. Expect a lively worship service with blended styles of music that include both contemporary and traditional elements. Expect to sing some songs from PowerPoint and some songs from the hymnal. Expect to receive a bulletin with a copy of the pastor's sermon outline inserted for you to take notes. Expect a conversational preaching style, with heavy emphasis on the Bible. Expect to be challenged to grow spiritually.

What do I wear?
On Sunday mornings, many people dress formally (women often wear a dress and some men wear a coat and tie while other men are more informal), although pants and a nice shirt or top are also acceptable on Sunday morning. Members dress informally for Sunday nights and weeknights (most women do not wear a dress and men do not wear a tie on Sunday nights and at weeknight services).

What should I bring?
Bring a Bible, and if you wish to take notes on the sermon, bring a pen or pencil. The pastor's sermon outline is provided as an insert in the bulletin, with blanks to fill in answers, so you do not need to bring a notepad.

Where do I park?
There is plenty of parking around the sanctuary between 7th and 6th Streets. There is also parking off Richland Avenue behind the sanctuary.

There is also a parking in front of the new children's building on E. 6th Street, and a large new parking lot just past the Memorial Chapel at the corner of Richland Avenue and E. 5th Street, across from the entrance to Rincon Elementary School.

Once I get there, where can I go for more information?
Before the 9:00 a.m. Sunday School and early worship, there are greeters at the children's educational building entrance on 6th Street, and behind the sanctuary at the drive-through portico. They are ready to take you wherever you need to go. Before the other worship services, there are plenty of ushers at every entrance who can greet you and assist you.

When are the services?
There are two Sunday morning services, at 9:00 and 10:30 a.m., and Sunday night at 6:00 p.m. The early service at 9:00 a.m. is a smaller group, and the music is more contemporary. The later service at 10:30 a.m. is attended by a large group that fills the worship center, and that service is a blend of music styles. The evening service at 6:00 p.m. is more contemporary and informal in dress.

Do you have childcare?
Yes, childcare is provided for all services. All child care is in the new children's building, located across 6th Street from the sanctuary.

What classes are available for my family?
Sunday School classes are provided for every age and grade during our first Sunday School at 9:00 a.m., and during our second Sunday School at 10:30 a.m. we have preschool classes, children's church for kindergarten through third grade, and several youth and adult Sunday School classes.

Do you run background checks on adult volunteers who work with children?
Yes, all of our adult workers with children and teenagers must pass a criminal background check before they can work with minors. We do everything we can to make certain that your children are safe when they attend our church.

How do I find out more about your church?
There is plenty of information on this website, but if you do not find what you need to know, feel free to e-mail our pastor, Dr. Bob Rogers, at brogers@fbcrincon.com with questions. He loves to talk to visitors and will reply to your email quickly. You can also call the office at 912-826-5536 weekdays, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and talk to one of our secretaries.

Will I be asked to fill out information?
We provide a pink guest registration card in the pews, and we invite guests to fill it out and leave it in the offering plate. The pastor makes a personal phone call to those who fill out the card, to try to schedule a visit in your home at your convenience. However, if you prefer to remain anonymous, or prefer not to be visited in your home, that's okay. Nobody will pressure you for information.

Should I give money?
Members are expected to give to support the church, but nobody expects guests to give money. You may put your guest card in the offering plate when it comes by.
