Church Life
Visiting a new church can be a daunting experience. Where to go? What to wear? What time to show up? What’s here for my kids? What can I expect? We want to put you at ease. We hope that your first visit to Glastonbury Baptist Church will be enriching and enjoyable for your whole family. You’ll experience inspirational music, practical Bible preaching and teaching, friendly people, and a place where you can connect, grow and impact others around you. We are a church that is culturally relevant and Biblically balanced.
Finding Us…
On Sundays, we meet at Naubuc School, 84 Griswold St., Glastonbury, CT. The school is located one block west of exit six off of Route 2. Wednesday evening Bible study meets at the Mustard Seed cafe on Hebron Avenue, just opposite Starbucks.
What’s Available for Our Children?
At every service you will find a well-qualified nursery staff and a clean, safe environment to care for children three and under. On Sunday mornings we offer a several Sunday school classes for all ages: Tiny Tots (ages 3-5), Children’s Class (ages 6-12), and Teen Class (ages 13-18). In the very near future, we hope to add a weekly children’s Bible club. Our youth group, the Challenge (for students in 6th-12th grade), meets on Wednesday evenings at 7:00.
What Are Our Services Like?
You can participate in encouraging and uplifting music as well as enjoy inspirational special music from soloists and special groups. The music is followed by a clear, passionate, and challenging Bible message from Pastor Mel Sharp. Each service is about an hour long.
Our Sunday evening service has a different feel — we sing hymns and choruses, followed by a verse-by-verse study through a book of the Bible.
We also meet on Wednesday evenings at 7:00pm for a prayer and practical Bible-based classes. We invite you to attend any of our services.
Do You Offer Bible Studies (Small Groups)?
We are currently meeting with individuals and small groups in our home as needed.
How Should I Dress?
There is no dress code for our guests or members. Our ministry leaders and many of our members dress in a more traditional “Sunday” dress. Our goal is that you will feel welcomed and comfortable during your time at GBC.
