WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
You will see a wide range of dress in our gatherings. From jeans and t-shirts to suits and ties. The most common attire would be jeans and a polo or button up shirt. 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 worship gathering than what you’re wearing.
HOW DO I GET TO SCBC?
South Canyon Baptist Church is located at 3333 W Chicago Rd, Rapid City, SD (google map). We are basically just off the corner of W Chicago Rd and Sturgis Rd on the top of the hill next to the fire station.
WHERE SHOULD I PARK?
There is parking on all sides of the building. The primary parking area on the north side of the building is the best place to park. It’s the most visible one in front of the church on the W Chicago Rd side. There are two front doors right there on the north side of building which enter into our lobby.

WHERE DO MY CHILDREN GO?
Our nursery is available at both the Life Class hour (9:00-10:00AM; during the fall) and the Worship hour. Our Children’s Check-In Center is located to your left as you enter in the front door and has friendly volunteers that would be more than happy to answer questions and escort you and your children to the Nursery/Children’s area.
The nursery is for children birth up through age two. It is located on the northeast corner of the building or to your left around the corner as you enter the front doors.

During the Worship gathering, children ages two through kindergarten will join their parents for the first 15-20 minutes before being invited to our Children’s Church activities. Children’s Church is located on the east side of the building or to the left side of the lobby. Parents, please personally bring your children to the Check-in Center. Our Children’s Ministry staff will be there to assist you with the check-in process and make your child feel at home.

AM I EXPECTED TO GIVE AN OFFERING?
The offering is for those who are members and regular attenders. We don’t expect guests to give an offering. If you do wish to give, we have an offering drop box located at the Connect Desk
WHAT IS THE WORSHIP LIKE?
On most weeks the gathering will begin with our worship band leading in two worship songs. We sing a combination of newer worship songs and older worship songs. We will have either a scripture reading or a time of prayer and the younger children are dismissed to Children’s Church as we sing a third song. Then one of our pastors preaches a practical message from the Bible for about 30-45 minutes. We dismiss with a closing song and benediction.
