Sunday Service:
Sunday Small Groups at Barton are an important part of building Christian community and reinforcing biblical teaching. Each class is led by a gifted teacher, includes intentional time for prayer, and encourages meaningful conversation as we interact with one another and with the Bible. In these classes, our goal is not simply to gain information, but to be transformed into Christlikeness. We offer groups for all ages, and you’re welcome to visit around to find a good fit. And of course, if you’d like help knowing where to start, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Sunday Small Groups 9:30am | Sunday Worship 10:50am
Wednesday Service:
The Equip Class meets on Wednesday nights in the worship center and focuses on prayer, singing, and Bible study. Rooted in Ephesians 4:12, this class is designed to equip the church for the work of ministry as we look to Scripture for guidance on how to live God-glorifying, mission-minded lives and grow as faithful followers of Christ. Each week centers on one of four themes—Christian Living, Biblical Doctrine, Spiritual Disciplines, and Evangelism—with teachers rotating throughout the year. We invite you to join us for thoughtful conversation, encouragement, and growth as we learn together.
Wednesday Worship 6:30pm
Have you ever asked the question, “What is a Christian?” That may be one of the most important questions anyone could ever ask, but it ultimately leads us to an even more important question: “Am I a Christian?” How we answer that question has eternal consequences for our souls. Once we answer that question, everything changes! In our study of 1 John, we will see how God’s Word helps us examine our lives and gives us confidence that we truly belong to Christ.
This Wednesday, we will begin a quick 2 week study to refresh and learn about the association of churches that Barton First Baptist Church is a part of, the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). The SBC is the largest cooperation of Baptist churches in the United States. We voluntarily band together to plant churches, train future ministry leaders, and reach the world with the gospel through the International Mission Board (IMB). This is an important study for us to understand who we are a part of, where we are going, and why. Over the next 2 weeks, we will take a closer look at the SBC and how our church is connected to this larger cooperation of churches as we seek to fulfill the Great Commission together.
