FAQ

FIRST TIME GUESTS

You are very welcome here at First Baptist Jonesboro! During the worship service, please take a moment to fill out a Guest Card. After worship, come by the Guest Reception desk in the lobby area and meet Pastor Mel. He will exchange the completed card for a small gift, just for you!

How long is the service?

Our services are approximately one hour and fifteen minutes.

What time do I need to arrive?

We recommend that you arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the beginning of any service or event.

Where should I sit?

You may sit wherever you feel comfortable in our Worship Center, from the front row on the main floor to the back row of the balcony. If you have difficulty locating a seat, our ushers are available to assist you.

What should I wear?

You are welcome at FBJ just as you are. We have members in coats and ties, members in jeans and t-shirts, and everything in between. We meet to worship the Lord and fellowship with other believers. We believe that it’s the attitude of your heart that matters to God, rather than your physical appearance.

Where should I park?

We have special parking for first-time guests, families with young children, and people who are 75+ years or handicapped. Check out our parking map to find the best place for you to park.
