Sundays

Morning Worship Service

During the school year, Sunday morning worship service begins at 10:30 a.m. and typically wraps up close to 11:30 a.m. (or shortly thereafter).

Services consist of a time of music, reading from God’s Word, prayer, and worship followed by a sermon delivered by the Pastor.

NOTE: Sermons are available on our YouTube channel. We have begun recording the sermons on Sunday and thus, if we have a guest speaker, their sermon will also be recorded and posted on our YouTube channel.

Corporate worship is an important time where we can come together as God’s family and learn from His living Word and be encouraged by one another, in our walk with God. The Holy Bible is the authoritative source for all our spiritual learning and discernment.

Music is currently a hybrid of hymns and music accessed through YouTube.

Junior church is available during the latter part of the service for those in JK – Gr. 6, from September through June.  We are using the Jesus Storybook Bible curriculum.

Adult Sunday School:  from 9:30 – 10:15 a.m., during the school year.  Pastor Oates is leading a study of the book of Romans.

Breakfast Sundays are held the last Sunday of each month, Sept. – Nov., & Jan. – Apr., and June, at 9 a.m.  (In May, the last Sunday is Anniversary Sunday, and we do a lunch, instead.)  The format is “pot blessing”, but come along anyway!  There is always lots!

Theme: Wonder Junction

Grab your bandana and dust off your boots! We are headed west to Wonder Junction where kids will discover the wonder of who Jesus is.

They’ll marvel at the Creator of the universe who came to earth as a tiny baby and was laid in a feeding trough for animals, who grew up and began his ministry of healing people and demonstrating his power as God the Son, who gave his life in payment for sin, who conquered death, and who will return one day in power and glory. They will be encouraged to embrace the salvation Jesus offers and challenged to live for his glory as we wait for his return.

Visitation

Visiting those unable to attend regular services at Goodwood Baptist Church allows us the opportunity to encourage and support through alternative ways. If you would be interested in having one of our church family visit with you, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Missions

Beyond our doors is a world that needs the love and assurance that God’s loves applies equally to them. The opportunities that God grants us to come alongside Him in His world and work is both rewarding and humbling. If you are aware of a need that you might suggest we consider supporting, our leadership team would be interested in hearing from you.
