We believe the worship of God is central to the Christian experience and encourage a strong, regular practice of coming into the presence of God as a community of faith to express our love and adoration for Him.   The traditional Christian calendar guides our worship.  We observe Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Holy Week, Easter and Pentecost.  At each service, there is a biblically based message, special music, as well as hymns, choruses, prayers, and litanies that aid us in expressing our worship.   FBC celebrates the observance of the Lord's Supper on the first Sunday of each month.    There is also a Junior Church for our children that meets in our Educational Building during the same time and provides an age appropriate worship experience.  First Baptist Church of Altavista meets each Sunday morning at 11:00 a.m. for worship.
