If you are thinking about visiting us, here are a few of the questions that you might have about where to go, what to do and what to expect.<\/p>\n

Where is First Baptist of Graham?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are located in downtown Graham North Carolina (see a map of our location<\/a>)<\/p>\n

How do I find my way around?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"IMG_3761\"During Sunday School there are greeters located at the main (side) entrance door. Classes meet at 9:30 am.\u00a0 Of course, if you cannot locate a greeter, feel free to ask anyone that you see for directions.\u00a0\u00a0They will be glad to help.\u00a0 Don’t worry if you are late, there is usually someone roaming the halls during Sunday School.<\/p>\n

During worship, ushers are available in the vestibule.\u00a0\u00a0Please contact one to guide you and answer your questions.\u00a0 If you arrive late to Worship, it isn’t a problem.\u00a0 The ushers will help you find a seat at a convenient time.<\/p>\n

Should I visit both the worship service and Sunday School?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You are welcome at both our Sunday School as well as our worship services.\u00a0 We have several different Sunday School classes to choose from take a look at our class directories to decide which one would be best suited for you.\u00a0 If you need help deciding which class is best for you, contact us at secretaryfbcg0617@gmail.com<\/a>.\u00a0 We would love to hear from you.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3107\" Some age groups have more that one class and we encourage our visitors to try them out to find the one that best fits their needs and interests.\u00a0 All classes meet in separate rooms in the Educational area of the church at 9:30 am. Someone will be there to assist you if you decide to visit us.<\/p>\n

What about my children?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We provide a nursery for infants under three years old during Sunday School and the worship service.\u00a0 You can find out more about our activities for the younger children at our children’s education page.<\/p>\n

Are your sermons broadcast on the radio?<\/strong><\/p>\n
