Can I bring my family, including unsaved friends?

Please do. Churches in Athens love when people bring family and friends. There's no expectation that anyone already believes — services are a great place for anyone to hear the gospel and see what a church family is like.

What is baptism, and do I need to be baptized?

Baptism is a public picture of a believer's faith in Christ — going down into the water and rising again, symbolizing dying to sin and rising to new life. Baptist churches in Athens baptize people after they've trusted Christ, not before. Ask the pastor if you'd like to know more.

What's the difference between a denomination and a non-denominational church?

A denominational church (like Southern Baptist) is part of a wider association of churches; a non-denominational church is independent. Both can be Bible-believing — in Athens you'll find faithful churches of each kind.

What is Sunday school?

Sunday school is a Bible study time — often by age group — usually held before the main worship service. It's a relaxed way to learn the Bible and meet people, and visitors are welcome to join or skip it.

What should I expect on my first visit to a church in Athens?

Expect a friendly greeting, singing, prayer, and a sermon from the Bible — usually about an hour to ninety minutes total. You can sit toward the back, you don't have to participate in anything you're not ready for, and you can simply observe your first time.

Can I talk to the pastor?

Yes. Pastors in Athens are glad to talk, answer questions, or pray with you — before or after a service, or by phone during the week. Use the contact number on the church's listing to reach out.
