What to Expect
At First Baptist Church Forney you will discover a warm group of real people dedicated to following our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. From the moment you walk up to the building you can expect…
A Warm Greeting
A heartfelt greeting is part of what makes a church a church. No matter what question you might have just ask. Our Welcome Team is there to help you find a location, get settled and comfortable.
Hot Coffee
There’s nothing like the smell of good coffee (or tea) to warm you up. We have a full service coffee shop in the Mall of the Worship Center. We also provide coffee in most LifeGroup classes and at the coffee bar upstairs in the Education wing.
Worship
We love music, all kinds of music. From hymns to the latest contemporary worship song, we use music to show our Lord how much we love and honor Him.
When do you worship?
Sundays at:
8:00 a.m. LifeGroups for all ages and childcare.
9:15 a.m. Worship
11:00 a.m. Worship and LifeGroups for all ages including childcare.
Wednesday activities are at 6:15 & 6:30 p.m. with a meal beforehand at 5:00 p.m. See www.fbcforney.org/wednesdays.
A typical worship service is about an hour and 15 minutes long. We'll begin with the band singing a few songs, the pastor will share a couple announcements and welcome everyone, have prayer time and then share a message. Most services wrap up with a final song or two. You're invited to stick around in the entryway to meet someone new, grab a cup of coffee, or head out whenever you'd like.
What do I wear?
We're relaxed. Come as you are! Wear jeans; or if you prefer, come in a suit or dress. You'll find a variety of styles here, and we like it that way.
What do you believe?
We believe that we're here to bring glory to God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We passionately desire to worship Jesus Christ, to instruct and encourage Christians to become like Christ and to share Jesus, our savior and Lord, with the world. Click here for our beliefs page.
Should I bring a Bible?
Yes. Our pastor primarily preaches from the ESV version. We include some text on the screens, but encourage everyone to follow the scripture from their Bibles. We also have sermon notes available on our free Mobile App.
Your campus looks big--how do I know where I should go?
Feel free to ask any of our members or greeters or stop by the Information Desk and tell them what you're looking for. We have greeters at every entrance. The buildings are also labeled with large letters and maps are available on kiosks at the entrances.
I like FBC Forney, how do I join?
Joining is simple! We offer many ways and you may choose which is best for you!

Simply walk down to one of the staff members present and inform them that you would like to join. You will be taken to a separate room to complete the process. Or, you may complete a Connect Card which is available in the Worship Guide as well as on our free mobile App.
