What to Expect
Your First Visit
We understand that visiting a new church can be intimidating for many, and we want you to be able to relax and enjoy the service. As you arrive, you will be greeted in the lobby. You will find our small church family to be welcoming and willing to assist you however we can.
Expect to Be Loved
We believe that people need to be shown the love of Christ, and we strive to show that love to each person that walks through the doors. We do not judge based on appearance or clothing. Some members choose to dress up for church, but some choose to wear more casual clothing.
If you are new to Scenic Bay, we are all equal at the foot of the cross. We are not a perfect church, and we are not perfect people. We are just a small group of believers who love Jesus and each other and want to share that love with our community.
Children’s Activities
We have a strong passion for the next generation. All children are welcome to stay with their parents in the auditorium; however, there is a staffed nursery provided for up to age 3 and children’s church for ages 4 and older.
Small Enough to be Family, Large enough to meet your family's needs.

What does a service look like?
Song Service
When visiting Scenic Bay Baptist Church, you will notice that the song service focuses on the hymns of the faith. Believing that music in the church should reflect the new song (Psalm 40:5), in the sense of new from the songs of the world, the style of our music could be defined as distinctively Christian. You won’t find this style of music on secular radio stations with secular words.
Praise Time
After a couple of hymns, we pause for a few moments in every service for what we call, “Praise Time.” Praise is not working up a feeling about the Lord, but responding to what the Word of God says about the God of the Word and praising Him for what we read about Him.
Scripture Choruses
At Scenic Bay Baptist Church, we sing Scripture Songs accompanied by a guitar. A number of gifted musicians have written tunes to various Scriptures, so after the song service we sing two of these Scripture Choruses.
Perusing Thru Proverbs
God has provided great wisdom for His children throughout His Word, but especially in the book of Proverbs. Before every morning message, we select a verse or thought from the chapter that corresponds to the day’s date, and seek to learn from His wisdom in Proverbs.
Offering
Envelopes are provided on a shelf under the offering box. Instead of passing around the offering plate, we have a box located at the back of the auditorium. We also have online options for giving as well.
