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: 9:45 a.m.
for Sunday School (all ages), 11 a.m.,
and 6 p.m.
What to Expect Sunday:
Our Sunday Services are at 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. There is also Preschool Worship (age 4-K)
every Sunday in room 210. Bible Study for all ages begins at 9:45 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)
in room 210,
and CA's for grades 1-6 in room 311.
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, Filipinos, & Koreans, to name just a few.
We 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.
