First Baptist Church Elgin IA

First Baptist Church Elgin IA We are a Bible believing church located in northeast Iowa. Sunday worship begins at 10:15am. Sunday school for all ages begins at 9am from September-May.

Awanas & RISE youth ministries are 6:30pm on Wednesday nights throughout the school year. First Baptist Church has its roots in the European movement in the early 1800s away from State controlled churches to groups of believers seeking to follow their own consciences guided by the Scriptures. Over one hundred years ago, after much prayer and fellowship, a band of believers formed the Baptist Churc

h of Elgin in 1879. It was affiliated with the German Baptist denomination which became the present day North American Baptist Conference. The church had purchased an old church building in 1878, and continued to meet there until the fall of 1898 when they dedicated the new building which is our present facility at 300 Main Street. The church from its earliest days has emphasized music, being blessed with gifted musicians through the years. However, the church's first commitment has always been to the Lord and to the preaching, teaching, and living out of God's Word. Seeking to continue in the fine tradition of our heritage, we are committed to following the Lord and His Word as we touch lives with the Love and power of Jesus Christ.

What an amazing day in Rahovec for the Team today! Kisha Fjala e Zotit is the only Christian church in the city and today was the first ever Children's Day event hosted there by the church. (A year ago they were just looking at the location.) The Team spent the day preparing for the event and handed out invitations to children who responded with a mixture of curiosity, excitement, rejection, and negative comments. It was a humbling reminder that the beautiful message we carry is also offensive to many. But praise God for His faithfulness, and that despite the mixed reactions, over 95 children came to the event and had a blast!! 🙌🙌🙌 Please pray for the seeds that were planted today to grow on good soil. And for more workers for the Rahovec location. Thank you for praying for the Team! They are tired but joyful and grateful.

The Kosova team enjoyed worship with our brothers and sisters from Kisha Fjala e Zotit this morning and had a blast at Children's Day in Vushtrri. While we can't share photos from the event itself we've shared some from the preparations. The highlight of the day was seeing all of the kids enjoy themselves and getting to connect with them.

Photos from arrival day for our Kosova Team. They are grateful for sweet travel mercies and sweet reunions.

"The model of Christ must motivate the people of Christ." Matthew brought another great message this past Sunday over Matthew 28:16-20. Grab a pen and notebook - you'll want to write a lot of things down to reflect on later - and give it a listen!

"The call of Christ must fully control the people of Christ." We're grateful for Matthew's message - "Christ Over All" - on Sunday. If you missed it we encourage you to take time to listen to it this week. Matthew unpacked Luke 9:57-62, providing context and a deeper understanding of what Jesus is saying in this passage and how we can apply this to our lives. Give it a listen!
