What should I expect when arriving on campus?

Expect to be warmly welcomed into a loving fellowship of believers.  If you are a guest we don’t expect anything from you.  We would appreciate a record of your visit by completing a guest registration card and dropping it in the offering plate or taking it to the welcome center or guest reception.  Our Pastor, Dr. Jeff Meyers, and his wife host a guest reception immediately following each morning service in the Library.  Please stop by to meet the Pastor and enjoy a cup of coffee and a pastry.

Where do I park?

Parking is available throughout the campus.  Guest parking is available on the front row of the parking lot in front of the Worship Center. Handicap parking is available in all of our parking lots. Parking for parents with special needs children is available in the north parking lot and parking for parents of preschoolers is located in the south and southeast parking lots.  Shuttle parking is also available at the Northview Shopping Center (just south of the church) with easy pick-up and drop-off in front of the Worship Center.

What do I wear?

The answer is simple…whatever you feel comfortable in.  You will see people wearing everything from coats and ties to blue jeans and shorts.

What time are the Sunday morning worship services and what do they consist of?

It does not matter which service you choose to attend, but we are certain you will find excitement in worship and powerful communication of God’s Word through the teaching ministry of Dr. Jeff Meyers in both services.  Here is a brief description of the styles of each service.  Dr. Meyers message is identical in both services.

9:30 AM – Classic Service – This service provides a blend of hymns and choruses, accompanied by a 70 voice choir and 25 piece orchestra. Specials provided by the choir and orchestra vary from Southern Gospel selections to Contemporary Praise and Worship Anthems.    Each week, we preach messages based on topics that we feel are needed at the time.  Our Minister of Music is in charge of the planning and preparation for the this service.  We try to do everything with a mark of excellence so our services are relevant, relational, and rousing. 

11:00 AM – Contemporary Service – This service is a growing community built upon the foundation of creating a fresh, relevant, and authentic environment where people are inspired to learn and respond to the ways of Jesus.  This service employs our FBCC Worship Team to provide the cutting edge worship music that the contemporary ear is looking for.  Selections from Hillsong, Passion, Lakewood and others provide the framework for a contemporary worship service of high caliber.  We incorporate current, high-quality video, and engaging teaching to lead people to a better understanding of what it means to follow Jesus. 

What is available for my children on Sunday morning?

Quality and safe care is provided for all ages.  No matter the age, your child will receive age appropriate Bible study and excellent care.

Preschool (birth – 4 years old) meets in the “Train Station” during both services.  Preschool welcome centers are located at both entrances to the preschool area where you will find a friendly greeter to check your child in and take you to his/her classroom. Your child will enjoy a Bible story, activities, playtime, music, and snacks in a safe and secure environment.

Children (Kindergarten – 6th Grade) meet in the “Extreme Zone” during both services.  At 9:30 AM elementary children (K-4th grade) attend Kid’s Worship while pre-teens attend Sunday School.  At 11:00 AM elementary children attend Sunday School and pre-teens attend Kid’s Worship. Kid’s worship is an exciting time where kids will experience singing, games, and a relevant message from God’s Word.  Sunday School is a time for kids to break into small groups which facilitate the learning and application of the Bible to a child’s everyday life.  Friendly greeters are at the Extreme Zone welcome desk to assist you.

Students (7th–12th Grade) meet in the student area (2nd floor) at 9:30 AM for relevant Bible study which is discussed and applied in small groups.  High school and middle school students meet in separate areas for an opening time and then break into graded groups for Bible Study.  Students attend the 11:00 AM Contemporary Worship Service.

What size is First Conyers?

The average Sunday morning worship attendance is currently 1,300 to 1,400 people.  We are rapidly growing and would love for you to play a part in the growth.  There may be a lot of people on our campus, but you will feel welcomed and a part of the family.

What do you believe and are you connected to a denomination?

For a complete listing of our statement of faith click here. We are Southern Baptist church who works with 40,000 other churches to accomplish the Great Commission.  Our church gives over 10% of our receipts to the Southern Baptist Convention, Georgia Baptist Convention, Stone Mountain Baptist Association, as well as other missionaries and missions organizations.  We believe the best summary of who we are is expressed in the Baptist Faith and Message published in 2000.

Do you expect me to attend a Small Group Bible Study on Sunday Morning?

No, but we would encourage you to add this to your Sunday morning schedule.  We strongly believe that the best way to connect into First Conyers is through a Sunday morning Bible study class.  If you only attend the worship service, First Conyers is going to feel large in size.  First Conyers becomes small and highly personal when you join a Bible Study class.  We have a class to fit you and help you further develop your walk with Christ while making lasting relationships.  We have a class for you. Click here for a list of classes.

How do I become a member of your church?

First Conyers accepts members by beginning a relationship with Christ for the first time, baptism by immersion, letter from another Baptist church, or through statement from a like-faith church who baptizes by immersion.  The best way to understand who First Conyers is and how to join is to attend our Discover First class on the first Sunday night of every month.
