Does your child play an instrument? We’d love for them to use their gifts to serve through worship in our Student Orchestra or Young String Orchestra.

We’re excited to celebrate a meaningful milestone with our 1st Graders as they receive a Bible from their Brentwood Baptist church family—a gift to guide them as they grow in faith and discover God’s Word. Please join us on Sunday, August 16, in Hudson Hall at 8:00 a.m. We will provide breakfast for your immediate family. During this time, your child will receive their gift bag, and you will have their personalized Bible and instructions for the morning services. During the services, we’ll spend time praying over these precious kiddos and encouraging them as they begin their journey with Scripture. Please register for breakfast and select your preferred worship service time by August 10.

Exploring Your Call
Do you sense God may be calling you into vocational ministry? Join us Tuesdays, August 18–September 8, from 6:00–7:30 p.m., for Exploring Your Call. This is a four-week study for anyone prayerfully weighing that next step: engaging in meaningful conversations about calling, character, spiritual gifting, and practical next steps in a Christ-centered, encouraging environment.

This ICF-accredited course is essential for every leader and a prerequisite for our advanced class, Coaching Relationships.
Sermon Notes | Chasing After the Wind
Solomon had it all and still called life meaningless. In this episode, we open Ecclesiastes 1 to ask why the things we chase — success, pleasure, approval — can never fully satisfy, and where lasting hope is actually found.
