From the parking lot to your seat

Here's a simple walkthrough of your first hour with us — no surprises.

Parkview Baptist Church building exterior with steeple
1. Arrive & Park

Pull into any of our three lots off Hayes Road or Pinewood Drive. Signs and greeters will point you toward the front entrance — arrive 10–15 minutes early for the easiest first impression.

2. Get Greeted, Not Interrogated

A volunteer will say hello and help you find Bible Study, Kids Church, or a seat in the sanctuary. Nobody will put you on the spot or ask you to stand up and introduce yourself.

3. Drop Off the Kids (Optional)

Kids Church (K–4th grade) meets during the worship service. Volunteers are background-checked, and check-in takes less than two minutes.

4. Worship

Expect 20–25 minutes of congregational singing — a mix of classic hymns and contemporary songs — followed by a 30–35 minute Bible-centered message from Pastor Doug. Service wraps up right around noon.

5. Stick Around (No Pressure)

Grab a coffee, meet a few folks, ask us anything. If you'd like next steps — membership, baptism, a Growth Group — we'll gladly point you in the right direction. If you'd rather just slip out, that's okay too.
