FAQs

Thank you for considering a visit to Ruggles Baptist Church. You probably would like to know what to expect, so we hope this page will help you. If you have any other questions or want to let us know that you are planning to come, please do not hesitate to email us at info@rugglesbaptist.org.

How long is the service?

The service is about 90 minutes, from 10:00 to about 11:30 AM.

What is the worship style?

Our service follows an informal liturgy along the gospel storyline, including a Call to Worship, Songs of Praise, Prayers of Praise, Confession, and Petition, followed by a sermon from Scripture. We sing songs to glorify the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. The Psalter ends with Psalm 150:6: "Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!" God has created us and given us breath so that we can worship Him and give Him praise. It is important for us to sing praises in spirit and in truth. We sing a variety of Gospel- centered songs with a mix of hymns and hymnody. To suggest a worship song or if you're interested in using your musical gifts to serve the church, email daniel@rugglesbaptist.org.

How should I dress?

Most people dress casually (jeans) but some people wear slacks or a dress. Don’t spend too much time thinking about what you should wear. We are grateful to have you with us as we learn more about God through the his word, so wear whatever you would feel comfortable in to do that with us.

What about my children?

Children are always welcome! We want to equip parents to be the main disciplers and spiritual influence in their children's lives. During our worship service, we provide a Children’s Discipleship Hour for children 8 and under, and a "Junior Bulletin" with activities and questions related to the sermon for older children. These questions are helpful for parents, as well, to discuss with their children throughout the week. Click here to learn more!
