Visitor's Information Card
As you are sitted, you will find PBC visitor's Information Card in the pew. You may fill it during the service and place it in the basket at the rear of the Sanctuary. The cards are then given to the Pastor who will contact you to tell you more about our church and the possibilities of becoming an active member.

Nursery


The PBC Nursery is located on the first level of the Owens/Roberts Building. Nursery hours are from 1:30 am until the end of serivce for children 4 years and under.



Offering
We take a weekly offering by passing baskets during the service. Visitors are may feel free to make a donation in cash or by check made out to Peoples Baptist Church of Boston. Members make annual pledges that are paid during our fiscal year; pledges and offering basket amounts are used to support the church operations, our programs and activities. Occasionally, we take a special designated collection.

Music
Our services usually include a Prelude, hymns, and music in the Service including during the Offering played by live musicians.

Fellowship Luncheon
After service, we invite you to join us for a fellowship hour hosted by a ministry or a small group. This time provides an opportunity to meet Members, the pastor or the speaker, and other visitors. It gives you the opportunity to learn more about church programs and activities. This is also a good time to check the bulletin boards located in the Atrium, or sign-up for an activity, and to make friends in our church community.

There is always a monthly event that allows current and prospective members the opportunity to socialize. Dinners, After-service lunches, Small Group Cruises and other activities that bring everyone together in a low-key, fun setting that benefit all.

New Member Luncheon
The church hosts a reception for new members every trimester after they have successfully completed a membership class offered by our Pastor. The reception usually takes place after the service in the Klugh Hall where longstanding members can get acquainted with new visitors. The pastor and deacons, deaconesses, ministers, and the church body at large can answer questions about our church programs, make friendly conversation to put guests at ease.

Parking
If you are a first time visitor, our hope is that you will easily find parking in the church parking lot on Camden Street. When you pull up to our parking lot you will be met by an attendant who will help you find a spot in that lot or direct you to other nearby parking spaces on the vacant lot next to the Mirage at Estelle's at 151 Lennox Street.

Transportation
Peoples Baptist Church provides transportation for its members to various activities including Sunday Church Service, Senior Explo, and special events sponsored by or with the Church. On Sundays, the van is used only for the 10:45 service because of timing to pick up riders from several neighborhoods across the city.
