About this church

St. Paul Baptist Church in Peoria worships on Sundays at 10 a.m. at 114 W. Forrest Hill Avenue, and the service is also streamed on YouTube. A typical service runs about 60 to 75 minutes, with congregational singing and a sermon, and the church has held to its mission of sharing the gospel since 1914. There is no dress code; the website says people wear everything from jeans and sneakers to more formal clothes.

For children, there is a trained team and age-appropriate environment during services, and Children's Church for kindergarten through fourth grade meets on the second and fourth Sundays at 10 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall. A student ministry serves youth, and Connection Groups are organized by life stage and interest, including singles, married couples, and young adults. A monthly Wednesday Prayer Night at 7 p.m. is livestreamed, and the church lists classes for marriage, men, women, and others, plus a care team and a membership path called the Discipleship Journey. First-time visitors can fill out a connect card or stop by the welcome area after the service. The office is open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 309.686.2086.
