What should I wear to church in Carterville?

Come as you are. Churches in Carterville welcome you in whatever you're comfortable wearing — casual or Sunday best — and no one will turn you away over your clothes. What matters isn't your outfit; it's that you came. The hope of these churches is simple: come as you are, but don't leave as you came — that God would meet you where you are and change your heart through His Word.

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 Carterville baptize people after they've trusted Christ, not before. Ask the pastor if you'd like to know more.
