It is our goal here at Pleasant Valley Baptist Church to make you as comfortable and
welcomed as possible as you visit with us.  We want your experience with us to be a
pleasurable one.  We will go out of our way to extend our friendship to you.  Here at
Pleasant Valley, we realize that visiting different churches, trying to find a home church can
be very stressful.  We would like to answer some of the more frequently asked questions
you may have.

What is the primary purpose of Pleasant Valley Baptist Church?  Here in the valley, we believe that
God has a purpose for us all.  This is described to us in Matthew 28:18-20 and other places throughout the
New Testament.  God has commanded us to GO, PREACH, TEACH Jesus Christ as Saviour.  This is the
purpose and mission of our church.  We believe that the local church is a place we can come together and
worship our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Where do I park?  We have reserved parking near the side entrance of the auditorium for the disabled.  
All other parking is open to first available.

What should I wear?  When you come to one of our services, you will find people dressed in a wide
variety of styles.  We do ask that people wear clothing that does not draw attention to themselves (modest
apparel).  We think that what you wear to church should not detract from the worship experience of others
around you.  We want all of the attention to go to Jesus Christ.

What are the services like?  Services generally last about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.  We are confident you will
enjoy the variety of traditional songs provided by our choir and special singing.

What are the Pastor's messages like?  Pastor Flood gives Bible-based messages lasting from 30 to
45 minutes.  His messages are timely and applicable.  Audio CDs of the messages are also available.

What do I do before the service starts?  If you arrive before the service starts, you will notice that our
auditorium is filled with plenty of comfortable pews.  There is no reserved seating, so you may sit
anywhere.  Many people will be greeting one another during this time.

How will I know when to stand?  The Pastor or the Minister of Music will ask the congregation to stand
or sit.  There should be no apprehension on your part of not knowing what to do during the service.  It will all
be pretty clear.

Do you give public invitations at the end of the service?  At the end of the message, Pastor Flood
invites anyone who does not have a personal relationship with Christ Jesus to accept Him.  This is also a
time for personal prayer with God over changes we may need to make in our lives. Counseling is also
available for spiritual needs.

Do I need to donate money when I visit?  Pleasant Valley Baptist Church does believe giving is a
Biblical principle, and we do encourage it.  However, our guests should not feel under any obligation to
participate.  We do take an offering that is designed for those who are part of the Pleasant Valley family.  

What are the accommodations for the disabled?  Pleasant Valley Baptist Church is handicap
accessible.  Handicap accessible parking is available near the side entrance of our building.

What is available for infants and toddlers?  We have a well-equipped nursery to care for your infants
and toddlers.
