Tharptown Baptist Church

About this church

Tharptown Baptist Church in Russellville, Alabama, gathers for worship on Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m., with Sunday School beforehand at 9:30 a.m. The church describes its services as friendly and focused on Jesus, and says they typically last about an hour. Members tend to dress business casual on Sunday morning, though visitors are told they won't be out of place in more casual clothes. A Bible study meets Wednesday evenings at 6 p.m. The stated purpose of the congregation is to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ, pursued through weekly worship and Bible study groups.

A nursery is provided at each service for children up to age 3. Children's ministry centers on Wednesday nights: the Route 412 program runs August through May, and a Wednesday night class takes its place in June and July. Children ages four through sixth grade can join the children's choir, which rehearses on Wednesdays and begins preparing a Christmas musical in the late summer. Vacation Bible School is held each summer for ages 3 through sixth grade. The website also lists ministries for students, missions, and music, and its events calendar includes groups for men, women, seniors, and college students. Recent sermons are posted online. The church meets at 5140 Highway 48; confirm times on the website before visiting.
