At FBC, Jesus is Our Blessed Hope!
Titus 2:11–14 (NKJV)
Trained by Saving Grace
11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.
Welcome! We are so glad you found us! It is our sincere desire at First Baptist to serve the Springfield IL community by uplifting Jesus as the one and only Lord of life! You are so welcome to come and be a part of our church!

First Baptist is a growing fellowship of Spirit-filled believers coming together to declare the 
awesome glory of the Lord and to celebrate Jesus as King. We study the Word, practice what we learn, and in the process grow together.

Weekly Schedule
This Sunday, August 25, is a special Anniversary Celebration on the occasion of the 175th Anniversary of our founding. Originally a German Baptist Church, we have been through numerous locations and buildings, several name changes (and one language change), yet still operate under the original vision of our original charter. This Sunday our Sunday School classes will be cancelled for an hour of fellowship and reminiscing–starting around 9:45; you will see some tables and wall displays of older artifacts and pictures, and we will have some videos of current and past members. Milton Bost, a former interim senior pastor of the church, will be back to give the message, and some other former senior pastors will be here as well. There will be a meal after the service, and all visitors are welcome to join that. See you this Sunday!
