You’ll be greeted at the door and given a Sunday bulletin. We also have freshly brewed hot coffee, tea and pastries in the lobby for you to enjoy while you wait for service to begin. Our greeters will be happy to help you find the right classroom for your children, find a seat in the auditorium or answer any questions you may have.

We have classes available for children during all of our services. We love children and desire to see them know God and the Bible. Additionally, we value teaching them to honor their parents. Our classes and children’s ministry personnel are ready to serve your children well!

We love babies! If you have small children, we welcome you to bring them. We have a great nursery facility for infants through 36 months and loving workers to serve both you and your baby. If you would like to keep your baby in the service, you are welcome to do that as well. There is also a private nursing room for mothers.

Our services are designed to maximize the possibility of your hearing a message from the Bible in a way that you can walk away and immediately apply it in your life situation. Our music worship team lead us both at the beginning and end of the service in pieces that complement the message. Our primary concern is that God is honored in the way we worship Him through careful handling of the Bible text, music, and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

Not if we can help it! We generally don’t point out our guests during the service, or ask them to stand up. One of our friendly greeters will present you with a gift bag of Sonrise coffee that was blended right here in Ozark, as well as a simple Visitor Information Card that we ask for you to fill out and drop in the offering box near the auditorium exit or give back to the greeter.  The information helps us keep track of where our visitors come from, what their needs are, and if they would like to know more about the church.

At Sonrise Baptist Church, we believe the Bible teaches that all people are sinners in need of God’s grace. Our church is not a gathering of perfect people, but of those who have sinned, been broken, and are seeking to follow Jesus Christ in repentance and faith. As such, we are a church composed of people who have sinned and are being transformed by the grace of Jesus Christ. No one comes to our church because they have it all together; instead, we come because we need a Savior. We pursue becoming complete in Christ, walking in Christ, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as we have been taught (Col 2:6-7).

As a church, we are also called to shepherd and protect one another. In situations where individuals have a history of serious or harmful sin, including sexual misconduct, we establish explicit protocols. These may involve accountability with church leadership, restrictions on building access, and limitations on ministry involvement.

We are committed to providing comprehensive care to all individuals: to protect the vulnerable, to walk alongside those seeking change, and to reflect both the compassion and wisdom taught in Scripture. We long as a church family to love God supremely, which means we strive to walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him (Col 1:9-14). Further, we value loving our neighbors sincerely, which means we also strive to honor and assist parents in their efforts to safeguard their children from harm.

Individuals with a documented history of sexual misconduct or those subject to legal restrictions are requested to report to the designated church leadership or security team upon arrival. This process enables us to provide appropriate support while ensuring safety for all attendees.
