Planning a Visit to HopeWell Baptist Church
Visiting any church for the first time can be a bit intimidating. We understand. We want to put you at ease by answering some of the questions that you might have.
A Note from Our Pastor
Thank you for allowing us to present you with a little taste of our church. HopeWell Baptist Church is a wonderful place for anyone looking for a place of joy, love, and fulfillment. Every Sunday our church is filled with normal people, just like you, who want to learn from God’s Word, grow spiritually, and connect with others.
Our greatest desire is that everyone knows Jesus as their Savior and how to get to Heaven. If you’re not sure, I invite you to take a moment and click How to Get to Heaven to find clear, reassuring answers from the Bible.
HopeWell Baptist Church is open to everyone regardless of background, ethnicity, or religion. We would love to have you in one of our services very soon as our honored guest.
— Pastor Mike Ray

What Can I Expect?
Our smiling church greeters will meet you at our main entrance when you walk in. They will direct you to the right class or service and will also be able to answer any questions you have.
Our main service begins at 2:00 PM in the main auditorium. You will enjoy hearing Christ-honoring music, as well as participating in our congregational singing. The music is always followed by a Biblical, practical, challenging Bible message from the pastor. This service is a little over one hour in length.
Common Questions
Is there a nursery?
At all of our services we provide a safe, clean, and highly staffed nursery for infants and toddlers.
Is there something for my children?
For children four years old through sixth grade there are fun, friendly, and Bible-centered Sunday School classes. These classes are staffed with trained, friendly, and well-qualified teachers and helpers who will make church exciting and memorable for your child. Our greeters and ushers, located all around the church campus and lobby area, will gladly help you find the right place.
What should I wear?
There is not a dress code at HopeWell Baptist Church for members or guests. Our ministry leaders and many of our church family dress in more traditional "Sunday" dress. However, you will in no way stand out whether you come dressed casually or if you come dressed up. Our goal is that you would feel welcome and comfortable as our guest!
Am I expected to give money?
No. We don’t invite you to attend our church for your offering. We want our service to be a gift to you. We exist as a church family for what we can do for you, not the other way around. You are under no obligation to participate in the offering as our guest.
What if I am not a Baptist?
It is our desire that our church be for anyone who has a desire to know God. Whether you have a Catholic background or Protestant background, whether you consider yourself very religious or not religious at all, you are welcome at our church. Visiting our church does not make you a member or a part of any kind of club. Rest assured, there will be no one at the front door checking to make sure you have a Baptist résumé in order to let you in!
Any other questions?
If there’s something we missed on this list, just give us a call, or ask a greeter when you arrive. Whether you’re new to the area, looking for a church home, or it’s been a while since you’ve attended a church of any kind, we hope your first visit with us will be awesome! We’re here to serve you and your family, and we are looking forward to connecting with you personally. We hope you’ll feel right at home from the very first moment you step inside! Please let us know how we can serve you better, and we hope to meet you this Sunday!
