Where do I park?
We're located at the corner of Lake Creek Parkway and Millwright in Austin. To come in through the Main Entrance, you can park in the lot across from the apartments on Millwright. There is designated parking for visitors and people with disabilities.
If you have young children and would prefer to park closer to the Children's Wing, there is additional parking located on the opposite side of the buildling across from the Anderson Mill Pool on Lake Creek.
What kind of people will I find?
AMBC is filled with families and individuals who are outgoing, loving, and accepting. Wherever you are in life, whatever your background, whatever your struggles, we're here to support you in taking the next step in your relationship with God. From the youngest babies up to our senior adults, there is a place for you.
What does a typical worship service look like?
Is this your first time visiting? Never been to a Baptist church before? Don't worry - there are no unspoken expectations for you during the service. We promise we won't embarrass you by making you stand (identifying you as a "visitor") or pressuring you to join our church. Come as you are and check us out - no strings attached.
Our Sunday morning service begins at 10:15 am and you can expect it to last around an hour and fifteen minutes. We typically kick it off with a time of contemporary worship (complete with a full band). We live in a world where a line has been drawn between contemporary and traditional worship and you belong to either one camp or another. While the majority of our worship would be classified as contemporary (Passion, Hillsong, Chris Tomlin, David Crowder, Charlie Hall, etc) we still love the theological depth and poetic beauty contained in the classic hymns most of us grew up with. So from time to time we’ll pull one of those classics out and sing it with a modern twist.
Our pastor, Rod Minor, brings a relevant message and teaches us how to apply Biblical truths to our lives. We use the last few minutes of our service as a time of prayer, reflection, and invitation.
What should I wear?
We want you to feel comfortable. After all, we are thrilled that you're joining us and want you to be more focused on the service than what you're wearing. It's not uncommon to see people wearing jeans. Others prefer to still put on their "Sunday best," and that's fine too! We think you'll fit in no matter how you dress.
What is available for my children?
We have programs available for children birth through 12th grade, both on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights. Even down to the babies, we seek to provide a place to train up children to know Jesus personally, grow in their knowledge of HIm, and learn to share Him with others. All ages meet at 9:00 for the Bible Fellowship hour where they learn Biblical fundamentals in a way they can understand and enjoy. Children birth through age five have an extended time of learning and care during the worship service at 10:15 in WeeWorship. School-age children worship alongside their parents in the regular service; however, we do provide a kid-friendly worship guide to help them focus during the message.
