Woodlawn Baptist Church was established in 1928! So, needless to say, our church has a lot of history and has experienced our fair share of changes throughout the years. 

The current vision and direction for the church has been in place for (approx.) 10 years. During that time Woodlawn has instituted plural elder leadership, re-written and adopted new governing documents (Statement of Faith, Membership Covenant, Constitution & Bylaws), seen an noticeable influx of new members and young families, and grown by approximately 30% in Sunday attendance. 

In short, we are a church that cares deeply about our faithfulness to God's Word, prizes genuineness in our relationships, and truly believes that apart from Christ we can do nothing!

The worship environment and dress is comfortable and casual. It will feel familiar to those who grew up around church, and welcoming to those who are new to church. We often hear from guests that our congregation is friendly and warm. 

The content of our service is traditional in many ways (e.g., Scripture reading, prayers, offering, sermon). The music is oriented towards congregational singing and is led by acoustic guitar, piano, bass guitar, and a few vocalists. We sing a mixture of hymns and contemporary songs, and the style is very "unplugged" and natural, given our limited use of electric instruments. 

When we gather, our desire is to worship according to Scripture with the aim of pleasing God being our primary concern. 

Our Sunday morning worship is at 11:00am. During this time the church gathers to sing, pray, give tithes and offerings, hear the preaching of God's Word, and observe the ordinances of the church (Baptism and The Lord's Supper). Prior to the sermon we invite our K-3rd grade children to attend a Kid's Worship time apart from our worship service where they can hear a gospel message designed for their age and ability. 

Our Community Groups meet on Sunday mornings at 9:45am. We currently have 7 community groups made up of different ages and stages of life. The purpose of these groups is to cultivate Christian community. On Sunday mornings our group members pray for one another, get updates on life events, and have a discussion oriented Bible study. Groups also meet monthly for fellowship and a meal, occasionally hosted in a group member's home. We also have Preschool, Kids (K-2nd & 3rd-5th), and Youth (6th-12th) Sunday school during this time. 

On Wednesday evenings our church gathers for a meal at 6:00pm followed by a Bible study at 6:30pm. During the adult Bible study from 6:30pm-7:30pm we offer Kids ROC (Rely On Christ, K-5th) and our Youth Worship service (6th-12th).
