Frequently Asked Questions

What is your service like?
Our hope is that everyone at First Baptist Alcoa will have heard the gospel message both sung and spoken by the end of every service. We sing songs (both old and new) that are rich in biblical truth and proclaim the glories of the gospel and our God. We pray together throughout the service. We hear Scripture read in multiple parts of the service, and we sit under expositional sermons–sermons that aim to explain a biblical text, point to Jesus and the gospel with that text, and apply it to our lives–preached by our Senior Pastor, a church leader, or a guest preacher. Our services begin at 10:30 AM and typically last a little over an hour. We also serve coffee from 10 AM until the service starts.
How do I get there?
We are located at 819 Gilbert Street in Alcoa, Tennessee in the heart of the Springbrook neighborhood. If you’re coming from Maryville or Knoxville, we’re just a few minutes off Alcoa Highway via N. Wright Road or E. Hunt Road.
What should I wear?
We’re more concerned with the gospel message than attire or appearance. Most attendees wear casual dress, so as long as you’re comfortable you’ll fit right in.
When should I get there?
Our service begins at 10:30am, but we also have Sunday School at 9am. It's also worth mentioning we provide coffee and tea from 10–10:30 in the sanctuary, so please feel welcome to arrive early and chat with us over coffee!
For the kids:
Nursery
We have Preschool (Birth-5 years old) childcare available during our worship service. Our trained and background-checked volunteers are ready to care for your little ones and read them stories from The Biggest Story Storybook Bible.
EPIC Kids
We offer a special teaching time for Kids (K-5th Grade) during the sermon. We dismiss kids before the sermon begins. We use this time to provide age-appropriate Bible teaching which focuses on the gospel, and we also play games or make crafts that reinforce the teaching.
