Lexington, Illinois
Our Church
The history of Lexington Community Church began in a log cabin home in 1856. At that time, nine people gathered to discuss forming a new church. Soon after, the First Baptist Church of Lexington was started.
In her early years, the church moved locations from a log cabin to a schoolhouse to a church building at 301 W. North Street. It remained at that same location until our current property was purchased in the early 2000’s. The church went through a name change (from First Baptist Church to Lexington Community Church) and our new facility at 515 S. Pine Street was built in 2009.
Today, we are a multi-generational congregation that is comprised of members from nearly 20 surrounding communities. We enjoy our times of fellowship together as we seek unity in Jesus Christ and genuine care for each other.
As a church, we value goals that seek to give God the glory that is due His great name. These values include things like the preaching of the true gospel (2 Corinthians 4), loving service to one another (1 Peter 4:7-11), Christian harmony (Romans 15:1-7), unwavering trust in Jesus Christ for salvation (Romans 4:17-25), and consistent biblical growth (2 Peter 3:17-18). We would describe ourselves as reformed in our theology and discipling and missional in our practices.
Qualities of our church that people mention the most are things like: we are a friendly church, we study God’s Word deeply, we love missions and our missionaries, and we show genuine care for one another.
