Planning Your First Visit
We know visiting a church for the first time can feel overwhelming. From parking to finding the right room, we want your experience to be simple, comfortable, and welcoming. Here’s what you can expect when you visit First Baptist Church of Orange.
Where to park
Reserved parking is available for first-time guests, and our friendly team will help guide you to a spot. Handicapped parking is also set aside to ensure easy access to our campus. Enter through the Main Entrance, where you’ll find the Welcome Center just inside the doors.
getting here
We recommend arriving 10–15 minutes early, especially if you have children. This gives you time to park, grab coffee, check in your kids, and find your seat before the service begins.
Our friendly volunteers are there to answer questions, help you find the Worship Center, direct you to kids check-in, or show you where to go.
SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICES | 9:30AM & 11:00AM
We offer two identical worship services, so you can choose the time that works best for your family.
Each service lasts about one hour and includes worship music and a Bible-centered message.
GROUPS FOR EVERYONE
Connection Groups are small Bible study classes where adults and families build relationships and grow in faith together. They meet on Sunday mornings at 8:30, 9:30, and 11:00 AM.
If you’re visiting for the first time, you’re welcome to attend worship first and explore a Connection Group another week. Our Welcome Center team can help you find one when you’re ready.
A Fresh Cup of Coffee
At the First Cup Café, you will find a fresh, invigorating cup of coffee accompanied by a warm handshake and great conversation. Or maybe a cappuccino or a smoothie is more your style. You'll find a full selection of refreshing and delicious drinks at the First Cup Cafe.
Are you a new mom?
If you are a nursing mom, we have a room designed specifically with you in mind with a comfortable glider and a changing table with necessary supplies to meet your needs. This room is directly across from our elevator. Let us know at the welcome center if you need anything else!
What to wear?
You'll see people in everything from shorts to suits on Sundays. Our concern isn't what's on the outside, but what's on inside. Come as you are. Jesus accepts us as we are when we come to Him. Why shouldn't we?
What Do we believe?
The Bible is the fully trustworthy Word of God and the supreme authority for faith and life. There is one true God who exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and humanity was created in God’s image but fell into sin and is redeemed only through faith in Jesus Christ. Salvation is entirely by God’s grace, leading to new life, growth in holiness, and eternal hope. The church is a local body of baptized believers committed to worship, discipleship, evangelism, and missions, practicing baptism and the Lord’s Supper while living under Christ’s lordship and engaging responsibly in society. We affirm Christian stewardship, cooperation, education, religious liberty, the sanctity of human life and family, the pursuit of peace, and the promise that Christ will return to judge the world and bring God’s kingdom to its final fulfillment.
