Gideon Missionary Baptist Church

About this church

Gideon Missionary Baptist Church lists Sunday worship at 10:45 a.m. and 4 p.m. in Waukegan. Its schedule page cautions that hours can change during summer and holiday periods, so a visitor planning around the later service should confirm the current week. The church describes ministry options for people at different ages and stages of life, including students, single adults, and married adults, with Bible study and active participation presented as ways to strengthen a relationship with Christ. The official site welcomes travelers and local residents alike to attend worship and learn more about the congregation.

Gideon was established in 1922 as Waukegan's Oakland subdivision and west side were growing. Its historical account says neighborhood families first wanted to organize Sunday School for adults and children, then learned that the work needed to be formed under a church or mission. That educational impulse became part of the congregation's beginning. The church now characterizes itself as a growing community of faith with ministries intended for varied walks of life. Rather than assuming every program meets weekly, newcomers should use the ministry directory to identify an area of interest and ask for its current schedule. Sunday morning at 10:45 is the clearest general entry point, with the 4 p.m. service providing a second published worship option.
