3 Great Services…1 Awesome Message!
Saturday Evening Worship at 6:00 pm
You’re invited to experience Jesus in a new way at our more laid-back Saturday service. You’ll have the opportunity to respond to His radical love for us through passionate worship songs, some old and some new. The Word of God is living and active, so the message you hear will focus on helping you apply the ancient text of Scripture to your 21st century life.
Sunday Mornings at 9:30 am - and 11:00 am
Your personal relationship with our Savior is the most important thing to us. We want you to draw closer to Him through singing, praying, listening, and joining with other believers on Sunday morning. Godly community and biblical teaching are life-changing, and God has a plan for what He wants to do in your life at First Baptist Church of Covington.
At the 9:30 am service, you’ll join in an exciting mix of hymns and worship songs led by our choir and orchestra. You will experience the joy of lifting your voice in praise led by nearly 100 instrumental and vocal worship leaders. The dynamic sermon is the same as our other services.
At the 11:00 am service, we invite you to engage with modern worship songs led by our dynamic worship band and vocalists. The sermon will help you internalize the Word of God, applying God’s timeless truth to your present day context.
What is First Baptist Church of Covington like?
We aren't perfect, but Jesus is. Come as you are. There's no dress code here, so wear what allows you to focus on worship. Whether you are passionate about Jesus, still trying to figure it out, or have honest doubts and reservations, you are welcome at FBC Covington. You will be greeted when you walk through the door and embraced by those around you in the Worship Center. Every Sunday we pray, receive verse-by-verse teaching from the Bible, and worship God through a variety of music.
Are you ready to dive in deeper with us?
Start with a Discovery Class. This is the perfect time to ask your questions and learn more about our church’s beliefs, values, vision, and strategy. You’ll also meet the Pastoral Team and other church members so that you can know who you’re worshiping with. You will leave the Discovery Class with a Personal Action Plan to discover your place on the team and find the right Connect Group for you. Learn more about Discovery Class.
The best way to feel connected and comfortable in a new church is to join a Connect Group. These groups are simply gatherings of people from all walks of life who share one common purpose - to know God and live faithfully for Him. Centered around God’s Word and prayer, Connect Groups are the heart of community at FBC Covington.
