God’s house welcomes all, with no dress code required. Whether you prefer denim, dresses, or suits, you’ll find worshipers in a variety of attire at our traditional services. Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable as you join in worship. 

Upon entering the sanctuary, you will be greeted by our ushers, who will provide you with an Order of Worship and guide you to your preferred seat.

During the service, a Friendship Pad will be passed, inviting all worshipers to record their presence. We encourage you to take a moment to sign it, allowing us to extend a personal greeting after the service and send a welcome note in the coming week.

You will also hear an announcement about our Welcome Center, where first-time visitors are invited to receive a special gift and learn more about this church community.

Come into Fellowship Hall and enjoy a cup of coffee while you explore the wide range of activities available each week. Be sure to visit the kiosk to discover the best ways to connect with the vibrant community at Birmingham First.
