Frequently Asked Questions about visiting
CRBC
What Can I Expect On My First
Visit?
On your first visit to anywhere new, it’s common to feel slightly
apprehensive. We will do all we can to make you feel right at home.
There will be someone to greet you and answer any questions you might
have regarding our Sunday Morning Bible Study at 9:45 AM or our Sunday
Morning Worship Hour at 11:00 AM. Greeters will direct you to the
appropriate Bible Study Class or assist you in being seated in the
auditorium.
What About My children?
Children and students are a high priority at Cooper River Baptist
Church. We provide excellent nursery care and special classes for all
ages each Sunday Morning. While you are enjoying the worship service,
your children can enjoy interactive activities with their peers. For
more information, click on Children and
Youth Ministries.
How Do I Get There?
We’re located in the Park Circle area of North Charleston one block off
of the Olde North Village district. There are some really exciting
things going on in our community and if you haven’t traveled to the end
of East Montague lately you might be surprised at what you find there.

What Is Your Worship Service Like and How Should I Dress?
Our worship style is a gently blend of traditional hymns and
contemporary choruses. We will occasionally feature video clips, special
music and dramatic presentations. Pastor Gary will bring a message on
being God’s people in today’s world accompanied by a Bible Study Guide
and PowerPoint presentation.
Honestly, we believe that God is far more concerned with what’s on the
inside than what’s on the outside. We want you to focus on opening your
heart to what God might want to do in you and not be overly concerned
with how you’re dressed. You will find some folks dressed casually and
others with more formal dress. We simply encourage our people to dress
modestly and in a way that honors God.
Do You Embarrass Guests During the Service?
Not if we can help it! We don’t point out guests during the service, or
ask them to stand up. What we do is ask guests to fill out a “Connection
Card” and to let us know if further information is desired. We may send
you a letter to thank you for coming, but we will not turn up on your
doorstep.
Do I Have To Put Money In The Offering Plate?
We don’t expect guests to put money in the offering plate; this is for
regular attendees.
What Happens on Sunday Nights?
Our Connection Groups meet on Sunday evenings at various locations
throughout the area. Click here for more information on our small group
ministry or to find a Connection Group near you. A variety of meetings,
special events, and opportunities are also held on Sunday nights
throughout the year, although there is not a weekly service. Partnership
with God is necessary if Cooper River Church is to be a catalyst in our
community. We purpose to build relationships by meeting the needs of our
neighbors, both physical and spiritual. The Holy Spirit if faithful to
create the opportunity for the gospel to be shared in love in an
atmosphere of trust.
