What if I'm not a Christian?
If you're not a Christian and attend West Acres Baptist Church, you should generally be able to visit without any expectation that you already share the church's beliefs. Here's what you can likely expect: You'll be welcomed as a guest. Most Southern Baptist churches, including West Acres, encourage visitors whether they're Christians, curious about faith, or simply attending with friends or family. The sermon will be directed toward Christian beliefs. The pastor will likely preach from the Bible and may explain the gospel, talk about Jesus, and invite people to consider becoming Christians. No one should expect you to participate in everything. You can stand or sit during singing as you feel comfortable, and you don't have to pray aloud or sing if you don't want to. People may talk to you afterward. Members might introduce themselves, ask if you're visiting, or invite you back. Some may ask about your faith, but you can simply say something like, "I'm just here to learn more," if that's how you feel.
