I’m New

Welcome to First Baptist Church!

Word of Welcome



If you haven’t grown up going to church, or even if you’re simply new to Bloomington, you probably have questions about what we do and how we do it. We want to address these questions so you know what to expect and feel more comfortable about visiting and/or getting involved.



At FBC, there are many ways to grow, learn, make a difference and meet people. 



Here’s a list of our current small group ministries.



LOGOS is our ministry for children and youth to help them have a living relationship with Jesus and also to build intergenerational connections as part of the church.



If you are looking to make a difference locally, we have many partners and ministry opportunities inside and outside the church.  Here are some of them.

Exploring God at FBC



Throughout the year, we offer opportunities for guests and newer visitors to come together to discuss your questions about theology and to talk about what FBC, an American Baptist Church, is all about. Our hope is that our church would be a safe place for you to explore your questions and, hopefully, to match your passions.



If you have any other questions, Contact Us Online or call 309-662-4253. We would love to help you connect with our Bloomington area church in a meaningful way!

Coffee and Conversation



Every Sunday morning before and after worship, we have opportunities to grab a cup of coffee and to get to know one another better. We would love to have the opportunity to find out who you are and what you do – and for you to get to know us, too! Learning about your interests can help us get you in touch with the people or activities that would appeal to you most.
