Knowing Where To Go
One you arrive we will have greeters ready to show you where to go. They will even be available to assist you to the appropriate nursery, class, or service. Please feel free to stop by our Welcome Center in the church lobby to receive a guest information packet and free gift for being our guest.

Pre-Service Planning
You should probably plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before service begins to get acquainted with our facility. At every service there are safe and clean nurseries for your children, and a kid’s church during the 10:30am service. All of our children’s workers have been trained and qualified for their ministry to your family.

What To Expect
On Sunday mornings, classes for all ages begin at 9:30am and dismiss at 10:20am. These small group Bible studies provide practical teaching, encouragement, and fellowship with other people your age. Our   morning worship service begins at 10:30am and is filled with inspirational music, followed by a clear,   practical, Bible message from Pastor Blankenship. Our 5:30pm service is an entirely different service from our morning worship. Pastor Blankenship delivers a different Bible message in both services.


Wednesdays In The Word

Wednesdays In The Word is a mid-week service designed to equip and refresh believers in the middle of a busy work week. The Wednesday service structure is a laid back and a little different from our regular Sunday schedule. This service includes One-On-One Discipleship, Patch the Pirate Club, Teen Bible Study, and Adult Prayer & Bible Study. Wednesday In The Word typically runs from from 7:00pm - 8:00pm.


If there’s something we missed, please call us. We want your first visit to Laurel Baptist Church to be a tremendous experience. It is our desire to serve you and your family. We look forward to seeing you this Sunday!
