Reformation Baptist FAQs
Reformation Baptist Church held its first public service in February 2008 with a small core group of 15 people.
Every aspect of our services are focused Jesus Christ. From the songs that we sing, to the sermons that are preached, to celebrating the Lord's Supper, it’s all about Him. A “typical” Sunday service follows this format:
- Welcome/Announcements
- 2-3 Songs/Hymns
- Expositional Preaching of God's Word
- Celebrating the Lord's Supper
- 2-3 Songs/Hymns
- Benediction
Going somewhere new for the first time can be a nervous experience for anyone. At Reformation Baptist our intent is to let visitors know that they are welcomed, loved, and that we desire to get to know them, but we don't want to come across as desperate, overwhelming, or fake. We want to thank you for giving us a shot and give you different avenues to pursue more information about church membership, Community Groups and leadership without smothering you. In a Sunday morning service we encourage everyone looking for a church home to become a member. Looking through our membership process online or in the Reformation Baptist Church app is the easiest way to get to know what our church is all about. Our goal is to be a church where you hear about Jesus, connect with other people, and have the option to pursue the church more without being ambushed or ignored as just another face in the crowd.
Reformation Baptist Church is a family-friendly place that believes children are a blessing from God. Little Reformers is our children’s ministry that gives age-appropriate teaching to children from infancy through 4 years old. (We also have a space for newborns and nursing mothers to use when needed for privacy.) Little Reformers' goal is the same goal for our adult worship service: to focus on Jesus and worship Him alone. Our kiddos sing songs, create crafts, have a small snack, and hear age-appropriate teaching that focuses on Him. You can find more out about Little Reformers by clicking here.
We invite you to come as you are. You’ll find all different kinds of shapes, styles, and personalities at Reformation Baptist Church. Whether you feel most comfortable worshiping Jesus in a t-shirt and jeans or in business casual, we want you to be you. When we come to worship, we want our hearts to be focused on Jesus and not whether or not your shoes clash with your outfit. Most of our people tend to wear jeans and a t-shirt or collared shirt.
Now we’re talking! At Reformation Baptist Church, two core philosophies drive how we function as a church body. 1. Corporate worship at our Sunday gatherings. This is where we come together as one body to sing to Jesus, hear His gospel preached through the proclamation of the Word of God, and take Communion remembering his death, burial, and resurrection on our behalf. 2. Church Membership. Our church exists to connect people in loving relationships that develop mature followers of Christ. Membership is how we walk alongside one another and spur each other on towards Christ. To do this, most of our members are in Community Groups. If Sunday mornings are the proclamation of the gospel, then Community Groups are where we work out the gospel in our lives. We have several groups that meet all over Northwest Arkansas.

Reformation Baptist Church is an elder-led and covenant-member-driven church. You can learn more about all of our leaders here.
At Reformation Baptist Church, we want to keep it simple and focus on “the great commandment." Simply put, we want to love Jesus and love others. We want to be a church that takes this seriously and not get easily side-tracked by secondary things. Often in churches, its the secondary things that derail the mission, cause hurt, pain, drive inward focus, and make Jesus look bad to the lost world that so desperately needs Him. As simple as this seems, it takes great effort and focus to accomplish the great commandment. Reformation Baptist is a place that continually strives to focus on Jesus. His life, death, burial, and resurrection give life, forgiveness, and peace. No matter where you're at in life, all of us need the gospel every day to see how Christ answers our deepest needs better than our sin and idolatry ever could. To claim that we are the only church in town with friendly people, good music, faithful preaching, and a top-notch children’s program would be arrogant and delusional. We don’t claim to have it all figured out. You’ll find all of the aforementioned, but what makes Reformation Baptist different is that we are a church changed by Jesus and committed to living all of our lives for Him by honoring his Word. As we gather regularly on Sunday mornings and in Community Groups, we share, love, and encourage one other so that all of us will see how Jesus really does change our lives in a practical and powerful way. And last, but definitely not least, our heart is to be a church who loves their unbelieving neighbors, family, and coworkers so they too might see how great our God is and trust in Him for salvation. To put it simply, what makes Reformation Baptist Church different? Jesus.
