Thank you for visiting our website.  We are the First Baptist Church in Decatur, Illinois.

At FBC, we have been getting back to the basics.  We are striving to take seriously the words of Jesus as we discover grace together.  On this journey of discovery, we have come to believe that God has given us a three-fold focus: Community, Discipleship, and Ministry.

Community - God is calling us to be an authentic community of faith bound together by thegrace of God and an unconditional love for each other.

Discipleship - As individuals and as a community, we are striving to grow more deeply in our relationship with God.

Ministry - We recognize that the best way we can serve Jesus is by serving others.

As we focus on Community/Discipleship/Ministry, we are growing together as the people of God in this place.

Again, thanks for visiting our site.  Feel free to look around.  If you have any questions or want some information, give me a holler at stevemechem@yahoo.com.   We would be excited if you visited in person.  Our Sunday Worship experience is at 9:30 with Bible Study at 10:45.

By His Grace,

Staff Notes




Ramblings from Pastor Steve
Pastor Steve Mechem
2012. Here we go. Where will God lead? What good habits established in this past year will follow us into the new? What burden will be placed on our hearts? What yearning will become a force of life? What's in store for us? for you? for me? It’s kind of exciting, starting a new year that is full of possibilities.   more...

Bench Notes
Rev. Mike Waltenberger
A new year is before us and the Advent/Christmas season and all of 2011 is now behind. Some might say we “survived” another Christmas. Others might already be anticipating Christmas 2012.   more...
