We're Always Excited to Welcome New Visitors!
At First Baptist Church of La Plata, we're always excited to welcome new visitors. We hope you'll join us for a service and we want to make your visit as comfortable as possible. Here is what you can expect when you come to either our 8:30 am or 11:00 am service on Sunday.
We're located at 9070 Hawthorne Rd in La Plata, MD.
If you have mobility restrictions or young children to carry, feel free to use one of the parking spots closest to the door. They are marked and available for visitors and people who need assistance.
Come as you are
Once you walk through our doors you'll see that our congregation has all types of people in all kinds of dress. We have people dressed up and wearing suits, and others in jeans or shorts. Please don't let any wardrobe limitations stop you from worshipping with us.
When you arrive,
please find one of our greeters and introduce yourself. They are usually waiting by the sanctuary doors or the Welcome Center and they'll show you where everything is. Do you have children? They can show you where the nursery and/or Sunday School rooms are. They can also answer any questions about the church that you may have.
During the Service
we'll enjoy singing songs from our hymnal (with music specials sprinkled in), a children's message, prayer and expositional preaching (currently from the book of Leviticus). Feel free to find us on Facebook and watch a live stream from one of our services.
After the Service
please make sure you have fill out a visitor's card and visit the Welcome Desk before you go. We'd love to give you a gift for coming!
