NEW HERE?
We are so excited to have you as a guest here at Bartow ARP Church, but we also know it's intimidating to walk into a new church with questions on what to expect. We hope that the following information helps you feel prepared for your visit!
WHAT TO EXPECT....
On Sunday Mornings:
Sunday School starts at 9:30 in the morning and lasts about an hour. We have classes for all ages and we would love to help you get connected to a group! For more information about our Sunday School classes, click here.
At 10:30, we start a time of fellowship as well as a time for breakfast! This is a great time to be introduced to others at the church while enjoying food before the service.
Church service starts at 11:00 a.m. and can be expected to last a little over an hour. This time will include worshipping through song, the reading of scripture and liturgy, as well as corporate prayers.
For families with young children, we have nursery available for all children under the age of four. There is also a special summary of the sermon taught directly to the children ages four to second grade, right before Rev. Mark Witte starts his sermon.
On Wednesday Nights:
We have a catered supper at 6:00 p.m. that leads into a time of prayer and study at 6:30 p.m.
