Visiting children who accidentally end up in the sanctuary have the opportunity to join up with Go FISH at about 11:10am, in Fellowship Hall. The program ends with parents collecting their children at noon. Go FISH is cancelled after 11 on fifth Sundays so children can be with their parents when the Lord's Supper is served.

University Baptist Church, a Southern Baptist church at 1197 University Avenue, Fairbanks, Alaska 99709 was established in 1959. Our pastor is Gary Cox, who joined us in September 2000 with his wife, Jennifer and three sons.

Sunday Worship times: 9 a.m., 11 a.m., and 6 p.m.

What to Expect Sunday:

Our Sunday Services are at 9 a.m., 11 a.m., and 6 p.m. All blend traditional elements and hymns with some more contemporary choruses. Over the course of a month, you can expect to hear a mix of congregational singing, choir, ensembles, trios, instrumentalists, and solos.  There is no rigid dress code, though evening services tend to be more informal. Services last about one hour, and there is a Go FISH (gr 1-6) from 10 a.m. to noon all but fifth Sundays. There is also Preschool Worship (age 4-K) every Sunday in room 210. Bible Study for all ages begins at 10 a.m. The church has a "cry room" equipped with closed circuit TV of the services, as well as a nursery for birth through age 4 during all services. All nursery workers (paid or volunteer) have passed background checks. In the evening, during the 6 p.m. service, Mission Friends meet (for age 4-K).

The congregation itself is a mix of ethnicities from all walks of life. While predominately "anglo," we have a Chinese Mission, with outreaches to the Philippines and Africa. Church members include African-Americans, & Koreans, to name just a few.

We now have complete church information available by phoning 907-479-2440 and surfing our menus when the phones are on "auto attendant." Extension 502 will take you to special announcements, and 503 will give you regular weekly events, for example. Our staff page gives staff extension numbers.
