First Baptist Church of Bellwood

About this church

First Baptist Church of Bellwood is a Baptist congregation at 217 25th Ave in Bellwood, Illinois. Sunday school starts at 9:45 a.m. and Sunday worship at 11 a.m., and midweek Bible study meets Wednesdays at 7 p.m. The church was founded in 1923 by Forest Park Baptist Church, and it describes its mission as sharing the knowledge of salvation and urging people to be reconciled to God through faith in Jesus Christ. Music is a regular part of church life: a gospel choir rehearses Saturdays at 10 a.m., and a men's chorus rehearses on the Saturday before a fifth Sunday.

Women with Purpose and Passion meets after worship on the second Sunday of the month, and a local missions and evangelism meeting follows worship on the third Sunday. The women's ministry also hosts a phone prayer line every Monday at 6 p.m. Central. The church's events calendar has included grab-and-go lunches provided for Housing Forward, a back-to-school giveaway, holiday gift card giveaways, fall revival services and a church picnic. Prayer requests can be sent through the website form or made in person, and each person can choose private prayer or prayer by the whole congregation. Visitors are invited to bring children and friends, and videos are shared on the church's Facebook page. Schedules may change, so confirm times with the church at (708) 544-0225 before visiting.
