Visiting | BFCOG

This page has been created so you can let people know what to expect when they visit your church.

Here are 4 ideas to help you get started:

How long is the service? It’s nice to know how long a service typically runs so people can plan accordingly.
What about kids? Visitors with children like to know what to do when they first walk in—should they head to the kid’s classrooms or bring them into the main service? Also, they want to know what kind of care their child will be receiving.
What’s the service like? Let people know the style of music, whether the service is formal or informal, and other details so they know what to expect. Try to make these details reflect the mission and values of your church.
How do people normally dress? People feel more comfortable in a new place when they don’t feel like they stand out.

Hello, and Welcome to the Bellefontaine First Church of God.

What is the service style?

Our Sunday service begins at 10:30am and is a more contemporary style service complete with a worship band. You can expect worship delivered by our band and a message delivered by Pastor Gary Brown. The Sunday service lasts, approximately, 90 minutes.

Where do my children go?

During Sunday Service, the children have the option to attend Kid's Quest (K-5th grade). Kid's Quest is typically located in the Gym, next to the Narthex. In Kid's Quest, the children will enjoy a bible lesson with Pastor Drew, as well as games, snack and a craft. Our nursery and toddler aged children can enjoy some time with our Kidcare staff in the toddler and infant rooms, located past the Narthex in the Quad.

What should I wear?

For some, it's jeans and a t-shirt and others prefer a suit and tie. Come as you are and change while you're here!

Where do I go?

We are located at 1000 Brown Ave, Bellefontaine, OH 43311. You can enter through the Main Entrance, which leads into our Narthex where you can stop by our visitor's desk and fill out a connection card, or use the sanctuary entrance, which will lead you directly into the sanctuary. Come early on Sundays, between 8:30-10:30am, and join members of the congregation in coffee and pastry fellowship!

Is there Sunday School?

Our version of Sunday School is called Group Gathering. Our goal for our groups is to promote outreach in the community. Group Gathering lasts one hour and begins at 9am. During that hour, groups discuss the previous week's sermon as well as any outreach plans/schedules.
