Church School – All Ages

The ministries of First Baptist Church are continuing to be offered in this time of Covid.  Please click on the links below to see how you can be a part of FBC.

If you have trouble connecting with us, please contact the church office at info@fbcblm.org or call us at (309) 662-4253.

The purpose of Church School is to grow disciples and to build community. It is here that FBC discusses Jesus’ teachings in small group settings every Sunday morning. We value this time as it allows us to delve deeper and to apply what we learn from the Bible to our daily lives as we strive to embody Christ in today’s world. The small group setting allows us to get to know each other and share our thoughts, struggles, and joys – and form lasting and meaningful relationships.

Because it is so important to our faith, there are classes for all ages, from infants to senior adults. Many of the adult classes also include social activities outside of the church to further connect with one another.
