Dear Members and Friends,

This is the year of our 125th anniversary at First Baptist Church. We are planning a special celebration in July and we hope you will make plans to join us. 

The two-day celebration will begin on Saturday, July 19, with an ice cream social and fun night from 5:00 - 7:00 PM. On Sunday, July 20, our regular church service will begin at 10:00 AM with Dr. Mac Shotwell as guest speaker. Special music for the church service will feature Mr. Clyde Oathout. Following the service, there will be a dinner in the church Fellowship Hall. After the dinner, there will be a special performance by Brad Brown and Friends. You will enjoy the wonderful gospel music performed by this very talented group of artists from central Illinois.
