First Baptist Church Mattoon

We are a joyful fellowship of believers who have accepted by faith the saving power of Jesus Christ. Since He is the head of His body, the Church, the Bible is our only rule of faith and practice. Being a member of First Baptist Church does not make you a Christian. Placing your trust in Jesus Christ, the one and only son of God, and accepting the sacrifice he made for you on the Cross does. We are committed to maintaining unity in the essentials of the faith, to allowing freedom in matters of opinion, and to demonstrating love always. We really care about people's growth and maturity in the Lord. We care about reaching the unreached for Christ. We care about the lonely, the sick, the poor, the hurting hearts, the family and the home.
