What to Expect
Visiting Columbia Road Baptist Church
Visiting any church for the very first time can be an intimidating experience. We want your first visit to CRBC to be refreshing and enjoyable for you if you come alone, with friends or with your entire family. We invite you to experience a friendly welcome and a place where you will feel at home. Our worship services bring inspiring music, informative teaching and preaching and an atmosphere where you can experience the presence and power of God.
Our Services
Our main worship services are Sunday mornings at 8:30 and 11:00 am and Sunday evening at 6:00 pm. In the morning services, the same type of music and the same message is preached at both services so feel free to choose the time that best fits your schedule. You may want to keep in mind that a Junior Church (grades 1-6), a Children’s Church (ages 4-5), a Beginner’s Church (ages 2-3), and a nursery (birth through age 2) are in session only at the 11:00 am hour

What to expect on your first visit
Columbia Road Baptist Church t is located at 4116 Columbia Road in North Olmsted Ohio. Our church can be easily accessible from Interstate 90 and Interstate 480. As you enter our parking lot from Columbia Road, you will find several parking spaces reserved for visitors. One of our greeters will meet you at the door and will help direct you to the service or classes. Information is also available at the Welcome Center in the main lobby.
A typical worship service will consist of a traditional blend style of congregational and special singing, clear, challenging Bible preaching concluding with an invitation to make personal decisions to follow Christ as Savior or to walk more closely with Him. In addition, on Wednesday evenings, our service includes a special prayer time when we commit to pray for another person throughout the coming week.
Sunday School is at 9:45 am and is in between our two worship services. Bible teaching is the main emphasis in our adult classes as well as the classes for children, infants through high school. These classes are smaller group settings and it is the best way to meet and interact with others.
Where do I take my children?
Greeters are located at the front entrance and will be happy to assist you in any way possible. If you arrive for the Sunday School hour, the greeters will help you find the right classes for you and your family and will personally take you to those classes. If you have infants/babies, we have a well-staffed and secure nursery suite where screened and qualified workers will happily receive your infant through two-year-old children. Just take a left from main lobby down the hall; the nursery will be immediately on your left. As you check your child in at the window, you will be given opportunity to leave any instructions and be told how the nursery workers will reach you if there is a need. Please note that the nursery is not open for the 8:30 A.M. service.
For children two years old through 6th, grade there are fun, friendly Bible-centered Sunday School classes. The children ages 2-5 stay in the same rooms for both Sunday School and the 11:00 A.M. service. After Sunday School, the 1st-6th grade children make their way to the Fellowship Hall for Junior Church, an age-appropriate service just for them.
For teenagers, we have both a youth girls’ and a youth boys’ Sunday School class. These students join the regular worship service in the auditorium either before or after Sunday School. There is also a Wednesday night Bible study for teenagers as well many outside activities.
