When do we meet?
Our worship service begins every Sunday at 10:00am and wraps up by 11:15am. Many of us linger for fellowship after the service, and we welcome guests to stay as long as they like to get to know us and our church.
Where do we meet?
First Baptist meets at a historic, well-maintained, and beautiful building on the west side of Wisconsin Rapids, just a block off West Grand Ave., behind Family Natural Foods. We have a parking lot available immediately to the west (left side of the church when viewed from McKinley St.) with a spot reserved for handicap parking and another for guest parking. We also have a spot reserved for guest parking on the street immediately in front of the building, marked by two cranberry red First Baptist Church signs placed next to the curb. Please feel free to make use of these spots if you’re a guest to the church!
What about the kids?
We have a staffed nursery available for parents with young children so you can sit in on the service uninterrupted and catch your breath from the good but oftentimes overwhelming work of raising children. The nursery is newly remodeled, with plenty of toys, books, an oversized playmat, and comfortable seating. All nursery staff undergoes a background check before serving.
Children are welcome and encouraged to take part in the worship service. The little noises children tend to make are a sign your church is alive—the service is for kids too! We believe it is important for children as well as adults to participate in the corporate gathering in order to draw them to Christ, and to disciple them in Christ. The church is a household of households, and a household is not only for adults, but for children as well. It is not uncommon for some of our kids to pitch in helping with elements of our Sunday service.
If there is any other way we might help you attend church and worship Christ as a family, feel free to contact us via phone, e-mail (links below under “Get in Touch”), or in person and let us know your thoughts or needs. We’re committed to making families welcome and serving them as best we can. It would be great to hear from you!
