About Us

Sounding forth the Gospel of Jesus Christ

We are an independent Baptist church that has served Belvidere and Boone County for more than 150 years. While we use the King James for our services, we believe the original manuscripts were inspired by God, not any translation. We are a group of simple people who love Jesus Christ and love others.

What to Expect

What are services like?
Preaching—Pastor Lashley doesn't waste time with gimmicks or motivational speeches. He delivers thorough Bible truth right from God's Word in a kind and encouraging manner. He works through the Bible verse by verse so that the Bible is in control and we get it all instead of selective snippets. This means he will preach on every topic, including the person and work of Jesus Christ, God's plan and the end times, eternity, creation, sanctification, false doctrines, and anything else the Bible has to say. No stone is left unturned, and the power of God's Word is unleashed to permeate every area of our lives. Singing—We worship God through modest means and eager hearts. Not only would we not be able to compete with large-budget churches, but we would miss out on the intimate and affectionate worship that's prompted by profound Bible truth. Rather than singing the words "You are good" for sixteen bars, we want to dive deep into the magnitude of God's goodness.

What is the community like?
We are a group of believers in Jesus Christ who are committed to faithfully handling God's Word. Everything we do is centered around the Bible. That's because we believe God's Word is powerful to save souls and transform lives. We believe God's Word offers you the same power to meet your deepest need: a growing and eternal relationship with the Creator of the universe, Jesus Christ. Each Sunday we gather as a church family and worship the Lord through the singing and preaching of His Word. We are always excited to see one another, and we're always eager to see who might walk through our doors.

What if I'm not a Christian?
Our doors are open to anyone. We believe that every person needs to know of the great love God has for each of us. God took it on Himself to satisfy His own justice. He paid for our sins by dying on the cross in our place. We want everyone to hear this message so we are always glad to have visitors. We won't be pushy. We simply place the truth before each person and allow them to make a decision for themselves. Come find out what the Bible has to say.
