First Baptist Church of Melrose Park IL

Rev. John L. Belser became the 8th Pastor of First Baptist on April 5, 2002. Under Pastor Belser's leadership, First Baptist has restructured ministries to address membership and community needs, began radio and television broadcasts, instituted Children's Church and enhanced Youth Ministry, launched an internet website and enjoyed tremendous growth spiritually, numerically, and financially. Plans are currently underway for the relocation of First Baptist Church to larger facilities which will allow for continued expansion and greater Kingdom Building impact for Jesus Christ for generations to come. We Praise God for His Faithfulness!
