Announcements: 

Technical Notes on the Worship Livestream: 

• Recordings of the worship service are usually available on our YouTube Channel immediately after the service ends. 
• In the event of livestream disruptions
  • Try completely exiting the program/tab or app and then rejoining from the front page of the website or using this link: https://www.youtube.com/user/FBCBloomingtonIL/live
  • Check the front page of our website or the FBC Facebook page.  We will post information and updates there on what happened and how to rejoin.  
• On a brighter note: did you know that there are lots of ways to watch our church services and other videos on your TV?  If you have internet access and either a smart TV or other device connected to your TV (like Roku, Amazon Fire, TIVO, PC, etc.), you can use a built-in YouTube player to access our YouTube Channel – just look for First Baptist Church Bloomington.  Chatting during services will still require a separate computing or mobile device.   Call or email the church if you’d like technical support in getting this set up.

Covid Update – January 21, 2021: 

In light of the updated IDPH guidance for Coronavirus and gatherings:

  • The option for in-person classes, gatherings and meetings HAS resumed

  • Updates will be communicated primarily through the eLink, website and verbal announcements.  Please call us with any questions.  

Please note that we know that in the midst of improvements, there may be setbacks that require us to again make changes.  We will continue to follow IDPH guidelines in this regard.
