First Baptist Church

About this church

First Baptist Church of Mattoon offers Sunday worship at 8:00 and 10:00 a.m., with Sunday School at 9:00 between the two services. The three-part morning gives visitors the option to worship before or after the education hour, and nursery supervision is identified for the early service. Worship and fine-arts ministries include children’s choirs that rehearse during the church’s Wednesday Prime Time activities.

Middle- and high-school students have separate Sunday School rooms and also serve at the Mattoon Community Food Center after the 10:00 service on the first Sunday of each month. That recurring project helps young people connect Christian formation with hands-on care for neighbors. The church also supports international and overseas missions, extending that service emphasis beyond the local pantry. Families should verify nursery coverage for the later service and current Prime Time hours, while students interested in the food-center project can contact youth leaders before attending. Newcomers should arrive before 9:00 if they want both Sunday School and the 10:00 worship gathering.
