Any new experience can be scary, not to mention attending a church for the first time. We’ve all been there. Nobody is perfect and we’re all on the same journey — through a little thing called life. No matter your background or your stage in life, we will do our best to make you feel welcome and hopefully the information you read below will ease the nerves before you even walk through the door.

What you’ll find at Wayside is a family of genuine believers who are growing in their faith and understanding of the Bible, and picking each other up when we fall. Each week we normally have four services. As you drive in, you can find handicap parking along the building to the left and on the right compact car parking followed by larger spaces for trucks. Keep driving around to the back of the church and there around back and in front of the parsonage are additional parking for all vehicle sizes.

Our Sunday morning worship service is an opportunity for everyone to authentically worship the living God. It is His call on our lives that transforms every aspect of who we are. This worship time calls us together with a spirit of expectancy and hope in song, prayer, greeting, and instruction from the Bible for practical living today. Music sung is a mixture of traditional hymns and contemporary praise songs.

Primarily, utilizing Truth for Living Curriculum from Regular Baptist Press, men who have been called to teach do so in a less formal more engaging atmosphere presenting the truth of God’s Word without compromise. As a vital part of our overall educational program the goal of Sunday School is instruction in the Word of God through topical, instructional and verse by verse units. If you are an adult seeking guidance in using all of God’s Word as God intended and learning just how Scripture applies to your life today, then these lessons are designed for you.

A New Adult Sunday School is began November 8th titled “Zealous for the Truth”. It’s a study through the books of 2 Peter, 2 & 3rd John and Jude which were written to instruct believers about life during the last days before the rapture of the church. This study will emphasize being zealous for God’s Word, proper Christian behavior and evangelistic concern, and the rejection of false and destructive teachers.

Come as you are! We’re about teaching the scripture with integrity and thoughtfulness, not about a dress code. If you want to learn and grow, we would love to have you at Wayside Bible Baptist Church. That said, “business casual” is what most people in the church elect to wear. On Sunday morning some men wear a suit and tie, while others wear jeans, dress pants, or khakis with a polo, sweater, plaid, flannel or even a t-shirt. While women may wear more formal dresses, jeans or dress pants, with a blouse, or nice shirt. What you wear does not define your relationship with God. Come Sunday and Wednesday evenings and you will find most are dressed rather casually.
