What should I expect when I arrive?
You'll be greeted by one of our friendly First Impressions greeters. They'll be easily identified by a badge with the FBC Homestead logo and their name. They will assist you in finding a Bible study class, the restrooms, the nursery, children's activities, or to answer any other questions you might have.
What do I wear?
You'll find individuals wearing suits and ties and you'll find individuals wearing jeans or a t-shirt. We really aren't concerned with anyone making an impression. We simply ask that you not draw attention to yourself by immodest attire. We want the focus to be on God, not ourselves. Dress in a manner you truly believe is conducive for worship. We'll just be glad to see you!
Where do I go once I arrive on your premises?
You'll see designated guest parking to your left when you enter our Krome Ave. entrance. This will place you closest to the main entrance. Once inside, you'll be staring our welcome center in the face! Drop by and let us know you're a guest and let us serve you in any way we can.
What about my children?
We have Children's worship (J.A.M.—see children’s ministry page) during our 11:00 services. Here's how it works. Children ages 4 through 2nd grade remain in the sanctuary during the congregational singing at the beginning of worship. At the designated time, an announcement will be made dismissing children to children's church. You may feel free to look in to take a peek and know where they will be if you like. If you have little ones ages 3 and under, our nursery is available during all services we offer throughout the week. All of our nursery staff are FBCH members and have undergone background checks for the security of your child. You will fill out a brief form and be given a sticker with a security number. Your child will receive the same sticker with the same number. Only the adult with the matching numer will be able to pick up the child. If there is a problem requiring your assistance, your security number will appear on the screen in the sanctuary indicating for you to come to the nursery.
What do you believe?
I'm a new Christian. Do you offer classes for new believers?
Yes! First Steps is a 20 week course that meets every Sunday at 9:45 AM in the library. (Just ask the greeter at the welcome center where to find the First Steps class.) Topics include, "Me and My Bible" (why we believe the Bible is the Word of God), "The ABC's of Prayer," Keys to Victorious Christian Living," and "Who is God?" to name a few. You can enter this study at any point in the 20 week cycle and remain until you have received all 20 lessons. The curriculum was written by Pastor Howard and is a great tool for beginning your growth in the Christian life.
What is the difference between the two Sunday morning
worship services?
The main difference is the amount of sleep you're going to get! Seriously, both services have the exact same message taught. JAM is only offered at 11:00 AM. Nursery services are available at both. Both services are equal in length. The 8:30 service music is led by "Morning Glory," our praise and worship band. Most songs are contemporary and exciting, yet still reverent and spiritual. The 11:00 service music utilizes our Sanctuary Choir and CrossWinds orchestra. Vibrant and worshipful arrangements of the hymns are prominent in this service. By the way, our Sunday evening service is mainly traditional with a touch of praise and worship thrown in. The message on Sunday nights is separate from the morning services.
