First Christian Church Belleville

About this church

First Christian Church Belleville is a congregation on Old St. Louis Road where worship, age-based learning, community, and missions are organized around knowing Jesus and making him known. Its mission partnerships range from church planting and children’s Bible study in Southern Illinois to disaster response and Bible translation. The church’s public welcome emphasizes authentic relationships, discovering personal gifts, and using those gifts in service rather than simply attending an event.

Sunday School and small groups for all ages run from 9:00 to 9:50 a.m., followed by worship and Junior Worship at 10:00. A typical service lasts about ninety minutes and combines contemporary and traditional music; Communion is served each Sunday to baptized believers. Visitors are not expected to give, and dress ranges from jeans and T-shirts to more formal clothing. Children through fifth grade use a matching parent-and-child check-in at the front foyer. Students in grades six through twelve have a 9:00 a.m. group downstairs, while the Summit youth program meets Sunday evenings from August through April for games, worship, teaching, and food; the website does not publish its evening start time. Childcare and activities are advertised for all ages, but families can ask the welcome center for the correct room before service.
