This Advent season, we each have a choice.

We can put our eyes down and shuffle our way to Christmas, just hoping to dull the ache. Or we can lift our eyes and wait expectantly for God’s light to break through. The darkness won’t disappear, but it will pale in comparison to the riches of his grace — the gift of Jesus.  

With our eyes fixed on him, we’ll be able to hold both the brokenness of the world and the hope of his goodness, all at once. We’ll wait — not numb, but with the thrill of hope — ready to join a weary world rejoicing.  

Because Advent isn’t about avoiding the dark. It’s about daring to believe that the light is coming.

What To Expect

Our services are around 60 minutes long. You can expect to hear contemporary worship songs, prayer, and a short message from Pastor Barry.

Our senior pastor, Barry Jones, will be speaking that day. He is a former seminary professor who has been teaching the Bible for over 30 years. He is married with three kids, and whatever you do, don't get him talking about his "award-winning" chili. If you would like to learn more about Barry, visit irvingbible.org/about.

People like to dress up more for Easter Sunday, but you don't have to. On Easter, expect to see slacks, jeans, dresses, etc. At the same time, you'll also see hoodies, flip flops, and athleisure.

We have three parking lots around our building. The biggest lot will be accessible off Regent Blvd. You can also park in the lot accessible from Kinwest Pkwy and enter through the Espresso Bar entrance or our Main Entrance. Lastly, there is a smaller lot in the back accessible from Ridgepoint Dr.

Kids all the way up to 5th grade will experience a fun, informative morning at Kids at IBC. Each of our volunteers are Ministry Safe certified and go through an extensive vetting process before serving in the ministry. The kids will experience classrooms that are organized by grade and the content taught will be in both small group and large group settings. For more information about our kids ministry, you can visit irvingbible.org/kids.

Yes. Our Arise Ministry will be open during Easter services. Participants will need to be pre-registered for Easter Sunday. To learn more about Arise and how it supports individuals with special needs, visit irvingbible.org/arise.

If you like coffee, we have Cuppa Espresso Bar that offers some of the best coffee and pastries in the area. We also have an indoor play area for little kids, and currently have an art experience in our main lobby area depicting the stations of the cross. 

After service we will have two family photo opportunities in our lobby and a place called the Connections Center that you can stop to ask any questions you might have. And after the 10:45 service, we would love for you to stick around to celebrate baptisms here in our building!

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
