At Quincy First Southern Baptist Church, we have a simple hope: to see people come to know Jesus Christ and grow in their Christian faith. For many decades, we've been helping spread God's good news here in our hometown and throughout the world, and we pray that God will continue to use our congregation.
Our story began in the spring of 1953 when a survey was taken in Quincy for the purpose of starting a Southern Baptist work. The Rev. R.G. Bryant, area missionary, met with interested persons and held a tent meeting in Baldwin Park. Calvary Baptist Church of Pittsfield, IL became the mission sponsor.
Since 1953 we have had six pastors and our current pastor has been with us since 1997. Our church has sponsored a few different church starts over the years.
We desire to honor and glorify Jesus in everything we do and if you join us on any given Sunday you will find a genuine group of people that love Jesus and each other.
Our congregation values the rich heritage of the faith as expressed in many of the great hymns of the faith and also values the contemporary expressions of devotion and adoration as found in many choruses. When you visit us you will find a wide range of age groups from all walks of life. You may come as you are and dress how you would like.
We have a vibrant children's ministry and offer a wide range of adult bible studies.
As a congregation we choose to cooperate with Southern Baptist Churches around the world and are a member church of the SBC as well as the local Baptist Association known as Bay Creek Association which is part of the Illinois Baptist Association.
Whether you've been attending church for years or haven't stepped into a sanctuary in decades, we hope you'll come and join us Sunday if you're looking for a church in Quincy IL.
