At Sandy Plains, we love children!  We want you and your child(ren) to have the best experience possible.  We provide childcare for birth through kindergarten during our worship service at 10:50 a.m.  A greeter will be able to assist you and direct you to the appropriate classroom.  We also have Bible study classes at 9:30 a.m. for children from birth to sixth grade.  If you prefer, your children are welcome to stay with you during the service.

What will happen before the service begins?

As you enter the Worship Center, you will receive a copy of our weekly worship guide which gives you information on the many happenings at Sandy Plains Baptist Church.  Many of the weekly events are also displayed on the facility's video screens.  Don't worry, though if you arrive just a little after the service has started.  An usher will help you find a vacant seat.

How are guests greeted during the services?

During the worship service, a staff member will greet our guest from the pulpit.  You will be asked to fill out the guest registration card on the tear-off section of the worship guide you recieve when you entered the Worship Center.  However, you do not have to register or sign your name to anything if you do not want to.  We ask that you drop the card in the offering plate as your offering, so that we may get to know your needs.  If you are visiting from out of town and planning on moving to the Marietta area, we would love to know that.  You will not be singled out or asked to stand to be recognized as a guest. 

How does someone join Sandy Plains?

At the end of his message, the pastor will offer an invitatioin to anyone who does not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ to accept Him.  He will also ask those who would like to become part of the Sandy Plains church family to make that known by coming forward.  A song of commitment is sung by the congregation, during which time people are invited to come to the front of the Worship Center and talk with a staff member.
