Each Sunday, worship begins at 11:00 am. We suggest arriving early to park and experiencing some quiet space within the sanctuary before worship begins.
What is offered for children?
Children are welcome in worship at First Baptist Church Savannah! A calming room for children and mothers is also available in the sanctuary building throughout worship. Following the choir's anthem, children ages pre-K through 5th grade are dismissed to Children's Church for a worship-themed activity. Those children wishing to remain with their families may do so.
What does FBC Savannah believe?
We believe Jesus treated everyone with a spirit of love and equality. Therefore, we accept every individual without regard to age, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or socio-economic status. We affirm all persons as created in the image of God.
