Welcome,
For those of you not currently attending church on a regular basis
we would like to extend an invitation to you. Regular church attendance can make a big difference in
your life. Worshiping God, learning more about Him and enjoying fellowship with other Christians is
a very rewarding way to spend Sunday morning. Our service at the First Baptist Church starts at 9:00
AM and we hope you will join us soon. You will be greeted by some of the friendliest people in
downstate Illinois. If you sometimes feel that there is something missing in your life this could be
a great opportunity to fill that void. Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth and
the life." Through faith in Him, the void you have can be filled. He said in Matthew 11:32
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." A good way to
find out what you need to do to place your faith in Him is to find a church where you can learn what
it means to have a relationship with Christ and what that can mean to you. If you are too far away
from our location (see map below), please try to find a church near by. It can change your life.
If you are now enjoying all the benefits of being part of a church
family, wherever it might be, we offer you a challenge. In your community there are people waiting
for you to extend an invitation to them. We urge you to find them, invite them to your church and
show them how a relationship with Jesus can enrich their lives. The Word of God ends with an
invitation. Revelation 22:17 says, "The Spirit and the bride say, 'Come!' And let him
who hears say, 'Come!' Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take
the free gift of the water of life." Be an inviting person!
