WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT MIDWAY
First Time visiting?
Where do I go when I get there?
If you arrive for our Midway Mornings Breakfast between 9:30 and 9:45am, please come to the Family Life Center between our Worship Center on the left and KidZone on the right. If you arrive for the morning service, please come to the worship center where our Welcome Team can help you and your family.
What do you do for kids?
Our children enjoy breakfast at the Midway Morning at 9:30am. After that, we have exciting Sunday School classes for children and youth. During our morning worship service, we have a staffed nursery and children's church. Families may also choose to stay together for the main service.
How long is the service?
The service starts at 10:45am and lasts to about 12:00pm. The worship service offers praise & worship music blended with hymns and a message from Pastor Marty or guest ministry. At times there will be Lord's Supper, Testimonies, Believer's Baptism, and Other Special Presentations. On the LAST Sunday of each month, we have a Midway Meal following the morning service instead of breakfast.
What should I wear?
At Midway Baptist, you'll see everything from suits and ties to shorts and t-shirts, and neither of those are better or worse than the other. Come as you are and join a community of people who care a lot more about loving you than about what you look like.
Can I attend if I'm....?
Is there something in your life that you feel God wouldn't love you for or the church would judge you over? The truth is, we're all a mess, but Jesus loves us anyway! Whatever you may be facing, we welcome you! We'd love to hear your story and walk with you on your spiritual journey!
What happens after the service?
If you fill out a guest card in our service, our pastor or visitation team will try to connect with you the following week - either by phone or with a visit. We certainly don't want to be pushy, but we want to be welcoming, loving, and available to you.
Foundational Truth . . .
Midway Baptist Church stands firmly and without apology on the Word of God for our faith and practice. We interpret the Bible literally, apply it practically, and live it lovingly.
- We believe salvation comes from Faith Alone in Christ Alone by confessing our sinful state, believing His sacrificial death on the cross paid our debt, and receiving Him as our Savior . The believer is eternally secure in Christ.
- We believe once a person has accepted Christ they should be baptized by immersion, develop a daily walk with the Lord through prayer and Bible study, and find a place of service within the local church where they can use the gifts and abilities God has given them.
- We believe in the imminent, literal return of Christ and His second coming.
- We believe in the final judgment of mankind when those who are saved in Christ will live for eternity in heaven and those who rejected Christ will be eternally separated in hell.
- We believe God created the earth and all life. Man was God's highest creation and so human life is a gift from God. Abortion is a violation against God. Furthermore, we believe God created male and female and each person is born the gender they were intended to be. God ordained marriage to be between a man and a woman.
As Augustine wrote 'On essential doctrine we must have unity. On non essential doctrine we have liberty. In all areas let us exercise charity.'
