WHAT TO EXPECT
We’re excited to meet you, just as you are!
A big part of our DNA is hospitality and a friendly atmosphere. You will be able to tell we’re happy to see you. Our team is prepared to make your experience a great one.
There’s no need to pretend, we’re excited to meet you right where you’re at. Below you will learn more about our Sunday services and our kids environments.
What is a Sunday service like?
Our Sunday Morning service is right around 65 minutes long or less . Our services are casual, fun, powerful, and practical.
If you arrive a little early, you’ll have time to grab some free coffee, check kids in, and find a seat.
Services begin with live worship music from our band.
After we sing, one of our pastors will come and share a hope-filled Gospel message about following Jesus. We like to laugh, learn from the Bible, encourage one another and challenge ourselves to take a step of growth.
Following a time to respond to the message or receive prayer, someone will wrap up the service with news about upcoming events and final instruction.
When you’re our guest, we don’t want anything FROM you, we just want God’s best FOR you! We promise not to embarrass you. Just enjoy your time here.

If you turn in our Connect Card at the Info Center for the first time, we have a free gift for you as well.
What are the options for kids?
We believe church should be fun no matter what age you are, and at Kids First, we make this a priority.
Children are welcome to sit in on the adult service with you (and we have coloring sheets + sermon notes for kids available) but we recommend the fun experiences designed just for them in both of our services.

We have 4 childcare rooms available for babies, toddlers, and pre-schoolers. We have a cry room in the back with toys, comfy chairs, service audio, and private nursing stations. We also have full kids church services for pre-K and elementary-aged children.
At our 10AM and 11:30AM services we also offer a Middle School service for 4th through 6th graders.

All of our kids environments are staffed with background-checked workers.
We have a kids check-in/out process.
If it’s your first Sunday, you could give yourself a few extra minutes to get them registered and checked in, BUT even if you’re running late, no worries! You can also speed it up by pre-registering your family before your first visit.
Junior high and older will probably be more comfortable in the adult service on Sundays, as well as Bluff First Youth on Wednesday Nights.

Our main entrance is on our upper level, which might look like the “back door” from our driveway.
Our address is 2518 Barron Road, Poplar Bluff MO 63901.
“Everyone is friendly and welcoming. The pastors explain things so that everyone can understand.
Bluff First has taught me about showing Christ’s love through actions.
It’s also “church made fun” as one of my kids have said. If the doors are open my children want to be there!
It’s more than a church to my family, it’s a feeling of home!”
