Calvary Baptist Church

About this church

Calvary Baptist Church in Belvidere, Illinois describes itself as an independent Baptist church that has served Belvidere and Boone County for more than 150 years. It was founded in 1865 and has been at 312 North State Street since 2009. Sunday School is at 9:30 a.m., morning worship at 10:30 a.m., and an evening service at 6 p.m. A mid-week study meets Wednesday at 6 p.m. The morning service is conservative in style, with traditional music and expository Bible preaching, and usually runs about an hour and fifteen minutes. The evening service is described as similar but more casual.

Parking is available on the street in front of the building, in the neighboring library lot behind it, and in the optometrist's lot next door. The sanctuary was once a Christian Science church, and greeters at the auditorium doors hand out a bulletin. Young children can be watched during the service and given a short Bible lesson. The calendar also lists a ladies' Bible study and a men's breakfast. Sermons are posted online, and the website has a plan-a-visit form for first-time guests. Confirm times on the website before visiting.
