What is a Service Like?
At Union Grove Baptist Church, you’ll be welcomed into a friendly, casual environment by people who are glad to see you. Our services last for about 75 minutes with our music team leading the church in song - lyrics are projected onto the screens and most songs we sing are also in our modern hymnal, so you can sing along and/or engage with worship however you feel most comfortable. You can expect a blended selection of traditional hymns and modern worship tunes.
After the music portion of service is complete, we will share some announcements and prayer, after which our pastor will come out to share an expository sermon detailing the meaning of a particular text or passage of Scripture. The sermons from week to week normally follow one another as we work through an entire book of Scripture from beginning to end.
After the message, everyone is invited to enjoy a 20-minute coffee & snack fellowship time, before the various Sunday School classes begin. Plan to hang out for fellowship and meeting new people.
