First Baptist Church Maryville 7110 Illinois 162, Maryville, IL 62062

"I joined this church and was baptized almost a year ago. I started going there in April 2022. The pastors and congregation are warm and friendly. I love the sermons by Pastor Tom Hufty."

"Absolutely LOVE it there! Every single Sunday feels like the message was designed just for you, always leaving you thirsting for more. You will leave feeling rejuvenated in God's love. Everyone is welcoming and eager to plug you in to serve. I LOVE the small groups I attend, they have become extended family and loving healthy support system. There are so many different opportunities for fellowship in so many different walks of life. The children's ministry is AMAZING! There are so many fun, wonderful and engaging ministeries that encourage, teach, nurture and grow our children's love for and in Jesus. Growing children for christ is taken very seriously. All of the leaders do such an AMAZING JOB at what they do in this ministry. They lead by example setting wonderful role models for the volunteers, parents and kiddos. There is literally not a ministry at the church that is not amazing! God's presence is overwhelming felt here! It has been a life changing experience for myself and my kids from the first time I entered into the doors. We have since been baptized and become active members where we are not only happy to serve but eager to. It may appear big and overwhelming. It's not, it's the biggest smallest church you will ever attend with so many opportunities to attend, join or get plugged into. I eagerly encourage any and all to check it out. You won't be disappointed."

"This church is huge but Pastor Tom makes you feel very welcome. We church shopped for years. This one is fun, funny, easy to understand and the small groups make this big church feel welcoming and like a family. Ir has taught me so much and my whole family of all ages love coming"

"You will forever learn from Dr. Hufty; he is an amazing teaching paster. This church certainly is with God. His presence is definitely surrounding the church, its staff and our amazing preacher. God's blessings abound and G-R-A-C-E is there for anyone seeking it.."

"All of the pastors are good speakers with relevant topics. I really enjoy my small groups class. The music is uplifting, glorifies God, and gives me another way to thank Jesus for His sacrifice in order to save me."
