First Baptist Church of Peoria

About this church

First Baptist Church of Peoria gathers for worship on Sunday at 10 a.m. at 411 W. Lake Ave. The congregation is affiliated with American Baptist Churches USA and describes its worship as a blend of styles, so a given Sunday might include piano, organ, choir, handbells, guitars, or a full band. Communion is held on the first Sunday of each month, with the bread and cup passed through the congregation. Children's Sunday School meets at 10 a.m., and a fellowship time follows at 11 a.m. Services are also streamed on Facebook, YouTube, and the church website.

Childcare is provided for infants through age 5, and an occasional Kids' Connection program gives children through fifth grade a Bible study, snack, and activity while adults attend a Contemporary Issues class. Youth activities for grades 5 through 12 meet Sunday mornings after worship. The music ministry includes a praise band, chancel choir, handbells, and a guitar ensemble, and reading music is not required. Parking is free, with marked visitor spaces near the building. The church office at 309-682-5491 can arrange rides to Sunday services through the diaconate. Confirm times on the website before visiting.
