First Baptist Church of Downers Grove

About this church

First Baptist Church of Downers Grove is an independent Baptist congregation helping people know Jesus, grow in Jesus, and make disciples. Sunday worship, Grow Groups, children’s church, nursery, student ministry, missions, and community events connect biblical teaching with relationships and service. Members also come from nearby Lisle, Woodridge, Westmont, and Darien, giving the church a reach beyond central Downers Grove.

Sunday worship begins at 10:30 a.m. and normally lasts about an hour and fifteen minutes, blending contemporary and traditional music with preaching from Scripture. Children’s Church and nursery are available at the same hour, and the Welcome Team can guide families to the kids area. The municipal parking garage is open Sunday from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., a useful detail for a downtown first visit. During the school year, Grove Students meets Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. for worship and relationship-building. Grow Groups meet in small-group or Bible-study formats during the week, but their individual schedules vary. Visitors should arrive before 10:30 to park, find the children’s area, and settle in before the service begins.
