What should I wear?
Where do I park?
Will I find a seat?
Is there something for my kids?
Perhaps you are re-engaging with church or attending church for the very first time. Perhaps you're an active church member who just moved to South Montgomery County and needs to find a new church home. Whatever your situation, we want to help with some of your questions before you visit The Woodlands' First Baptist Church. Here's our attempt to guess what's on your mind and answer some of your questions. If we've missed something, let us know! You're probably not the only one with that question, so asking us will help us help you and future guests.
What is your Sunday schedule?
Worship services are held at 8:30 a.m. (Classic Service including Worship Choir) and two Contemporary Services including Praise Band at 9:45 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Our pastor, Dr. Bruce Webb brings the same relevant and inspiring message during all services. Sunday Bible studies meet at 9:40 a.m. & 11:00 a.m.
What do I wear?
You'll see people in everything from suits to shorts on Sundays. Our concern isn't what's on the outside, but what's on the inside. Come as you are. Jesus accepts us as we are when we come to Him. Why shouldn't we?
Where do I park?
We set aside reserved parking for guests in our parking lot adjacent to the worship center. Please follow guest parking sign directions as you enter our campus. Parking lot attendants will be available to assist you as you arrive. Feel free to click on a campus map for the location of our guest lot.
Is there anything for my children?
Of course! We have Sunday options for newborns through high school seniors, including special times of worship designed just for the younger kids: (This new schedule begins on March 28, 2010).

How will I find a Bible study?
Take a look at our online listing of classes. That could give you some idea as to where you might want to go. On Sunday, stop by the Welcome Centers in the Worship Center Foyer or the Building D Lobby. A Welcome Team member can show you a listing of Sunday Bible studies, including a map of where each one is located. Believe us -- our goal is get every guest and member into a Sunday Bible study so we'll go out of our way to help you get connected!
Your buildings are spread out. How will I find my way around?
The best way is to stop by a Welcome Center in the Worship Center Foyer or the Bldg D Lobby. Our volunteer Greeting Team members (in royal blue shirts) would love to help with directions or even walk with you to your destination. On top of that, our Sunday worship guide includes a campus map for your convenience.
In the church I grew up in, some people had "their" seats. What if I unknowingly sit in somebody's seat?
Don't worry about it. Sit wherever you want. Nobody has a claim on a seat. We are just glad you are our guest!
