Who We Are
At our church, we are a community united by faith, dedicated to spreading love, understanding, and healing. We believe in the transformative power of compassion and the enduring strength of our shared human spirit. Our doors are open to all who seek guidance, support, and a sense of belonging in their spiritual journey.
Our Church was organized in 1865 when nine people gathered to establish what became Pinckneyville First Baptist Church. A highlight of our 160 year history occurred on January 31, 1907 when the Illinois Baptist State Association was organized at a conference held at our church. First Baptist Pinckneyville remains an active member and participant in the work of the IBSA and was recently recognized by that organization for our generous contributions to its mission endeavors.
