Today, we are highlighting Litchfield First Baptist Church established in 1854.
Located at 608 N. Van Buren, Litchfield, Illinois

Jason Plumer is Pastor.

Pastor Jason's prayer requests for First Baptist Church of Litchfield & Litchfield Christian School:

First Baptist Church of Litchfield

Give thanks that God has established an elder-led polity at FBCL. We are grateful for our three elders, Sonny Barrett, Michael Koen, and Jason Plumer, who shepherd our congregation.

Pray for deacons with the heart of Mark 10:45 — servants who come not to be served, but to serve, and who give their lives for the joy of others knowing and enjoying Jesus.

Pray for a biblical counseling ministry — that God would provide trained and certified biblical counselors to serve our church and community.

Litchfield Christian School

Give thanks for our wonderful new Preschool Director, Michelle Davis, whom God has graciously provided for 2026.

Pray for families — that God would lead more families to LCS who share our vision: strengthening families and empowering children with a classical Christian education so they can learn, lead, and serve in the church, community, and home.

Pray for teachers who love our mission and are called to the work of classical Christian education in our community.

Pray for churches that love our mission and are called to partner with us to joyfully advance the kingdom of God by making much of Jesus through educational ministry.

Give thanks that God provided over $60,000 in our school fundraiser and pray that he continues to pour out his blessing to supply all our needs for the year ahead.

Please remember Pastor Jason, his church & Litchfield Christian School in your prayers.

First Baptist Church of Mt. Olive-410 W. 3rd North Street, Mt. Olive.
Christian Comedian-Trevor Thomas

Sometimes it can feel as if the days of the variety show — like those of Carol Burnett and Red Skelton — are long gone. However, there is still at least one such type of show in the Christian entertainment industry — one with a strong evangelistic component.

“Trevor Thomas Live!” delivers encouragement to both believers and non-believers and doesn’t apologize for being entertainment while also being “gospel-driven, evangelistic, worshipful (and) edifying for the people.”

Everyone Welcome!!
