Our family has been at Ardmore Baptist Church for a little over 5 years now and this community of…read morefaith has truly become our family in Winston-Salem. My wife, two children, and I were immediately welcomed and made to feel an important part of not only the church, but what we are trying to do outside the walls of the church. There are a great number of places we've been encouraged and been able to plug in and serve through the Ardmore family in big and small ways. Places like City Lights Ministry, Samaritan Inn, SECU, Ronald McDonald House, and the Bus Station ministry, Solus Christus locally, international missions to serve Haitian refugees in the Bahamas, or regional missions serving here in NC. The new POPS (Parents of PreSchoolers) group is awesome! Ardmore also has a fantastic new Senior Pastor in Tyler Tankersley! He's young, vibrant, engaging (not just from the pulpit but also one-on-one), and is leading us to focus on who God has created us to be as individuals and as a community IN the broader community. The ministerial staff work beautifully together and all the different areas align toward common goals. This is one of the few places left it seems where there are so many people with differing opinions on the world, but they still work and love side by side. None of us is perfect, by any stretch, but this church family tends to put aside worldly differences to work together. One of the most important things for us is to know that our kids are loved and cared for and that their spiritual development is important to the people of the church. The Children's Ministry and Youth Ministry areas are wonderful at Ardmore. The leaders encourage the kids to ask questions and have the kids engage the story. Our kids have been through Ardmore Baptist Preschool and they loved it! There is so much love and positive faith guidance, and so many opportunities to live out our callings with Ardmore that I can't imagine a better place to develop our faith and serve people around this city.

Apparently, the simple act of picking up and putting down your kid more than once during service is considered "disruptive". So, you can either be ushered to the very last row of the church with your kid (s) or be asked to leave the premises. Unfortunate for a place that claims to want to support families growing and flourishing in faith.

"Serve Day" every 3rd Saturday of the month. This is when they pick a local non profit and help with their needs. They have also taken the local elementary school under their wing and do a lot to help the school and its children. They have several small men's, women, and coed groups for Bible study, discipleship, and Betterman. They do a lot to make sure that you are not just attending church on Sundays but living a more Christ like life. I have been blessed to have found a place that is so loving and caring. Check them out, I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

Between small groups, local outreach, discipleship, and mission offerings, there is something for everyone depending on where they are in their walk and/or what their calling is. We love River Oaks and look forward to calling it our "Church Home" for several more years to come.

They have a wonderful youth program, with over 300 active youth. They have a college aged, singles, parents, etc group.... for just about anyone! They have a cafe & great seating areas along the windows to chat and fellowship with friends... The sanctuary is big and greeters are helpful, always. They have expressive worship, and a very contemporary, modern, and inviting look! They have three services to suit anyone at 8am, 10am, & 12noon on Sunday mornings, which each have their own flare! Their website is also very helpful: www.firstassembly-ws.org I loved my experience here, and my few complaints aren't even worth mentioning. The best part about this church is the loving people, and the diversity of cultures here, they are also GLBT friendly as much as I've seen, and my favorite part of all, is the pastor's psychological flare on his messages, they make it very creative, unique, and an overall wonderful experience! I loved it & always will stand by this church. I have visited churches all over the US and this is by far, the best I have ever had the opportunity of attending!
