Sunday Morning FAQs

What time are the worship services and Sunday school?

You’ll find the full Sunday morning schedule by clicking the button below:

view Sunday schedule
Where are you physically located, and where do I park when I get there?

We’re at 1330 Kasold Drive, Lawrence, KS. The map below shows our parking lot layout and its entrances off of 14th Street. The main building entrance is in the circle drive.

Our church also extends beyond our physical location! Wherever you are in the world, if you have an Internet connection, you can join us online for 9:30 a.m. Sunday school on Zoom (contact the FBC office for links) and 11:00 a.m. worship on YouTube and Facebook.

Do you have wheelchair access or other accessibility accommodations?

We strive for everyone to have easy access to the building. There are marked handicapped parking spots for those who need them in the circle drive (in front of the playground fence). If it would be helpful to park close to the building, we also have special needs parking.

There are designated open spots for wheelchairs in the sanctuary. If you need additional assistance, please contact the church office.

The youth room is the only room on a second floor with stair-only access. If you’re a youth with accessibility needs, contact Pastor Cristina and she’ll help make arrangements so you can fully participate with the group.

For people who are hearing impaired, our sanctuary is equipped with a sound loop for those with hearing aids enabled with a t-coil. We also have headphones available for those whose hearing aids don’t have a t-coil enabled.

What do you offer for children, youth, and families?

Children and youth are an important part of our church community. Please click on the buttons below to learn more.

What should I wear?

Wear whatever you like! You’ll find some people dressed casually, some in their “Sunday best,” and anything in between.

Is everyone invited to take communion at FBC Lawrence?

Yes! Our early service has communion each week, and our late service has communion on the first Sunday of each month. Our communion table is open to everyone. You don’t have to be a Baptist or a member of this church. If you would like to take communion, you are welcome to.

What if I have other questions?

You’ll find the welcome table inside the main double doors where you can ask for directions around the building or any other questions you might have. People here are pretty friendly so feel free to ask anyone if you need help with something!
