Pastor Craig L. Oliver
Elizabeth Baptist Church
Established church, satellite location.
Location - EBC has 3 locations: Cascade Road (main location), Fairburn Road, Smyrna
The Smyrna location shares space with another church, so it is a remote location.
Service Times: Saturday- 6PM, Sunday - 7:15AM, 8:30AM, 9:30AM, 10:45AM, 12PM
Parking - there is a small parking lot for the church. overflow has to park in various lots for surrounding businesses.
Dress: Ranges from very casual to very dressy.
Members - there are about 200 persons at this 'satellite' location. The main campus has a membership of over 10,000 with members who reside all over town. A number of members elect to go to the location that is in closer proximity to their home so that they can avoid a much larger crowd. The members tend to range greatly in ages, predominantly African American.
First Time Guest - There is a point in the service where visitors are asked to stand. They are given a packet of information that gives instruction that is suited for new believers, then all members are encouraged to give a hug to the members and their other neighbors.
Praise & Worship - There is a praise team who performs various songs prior to the start of service. The music is very loud on the level as if they are in the much larger facility. Words to the songs are typically provided on the screen.
Other Notes: This is the church that I have attended for the last several months, the one that my fiance has been a member for the last decade.
Bible Version: KJV, nearly exclusively
Sermon Title - Principles for Thanksgiving Every Day
Text - Matthew 15:29-39
