Welcome to Carlinville First! We’re a family church that believes everyone is in need of God’s amazing grace.
Maybe you’re new to town, maybe you used to attend church but have drifted away, or maybe you’ve reached a point in life where you know you need God—wherever you are on your journey, you are welcome here.
Join us on Sunday mornings at 10:00 AM. Come as you are—we can’t wait to meet you!
Carlinville First is a place where you can experience meaningful worship, a welcoming atmosphere, and practical teaching that helps you take your next step with God. Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time or have been following Jesus for years, you’ll find a place to belong here.
We are a diverse community of people from many different backgrounds and walks of life. Some of us grew up in church, while others are just beginning our journey with Christ. We don’t have it all together—but together, we’re pursuing a deeper relationship with Jesus and allowing Him to transform our lives.
At Carlinville First, you’ll find more than just a service—you’ll find a family. A place to grow in your faith, build meaningful relationships, and invite others to be part of a life-changing journey with Christ.
At Carlinville First, we do our best to make you feel welcome and comfortable from the moment you arrive—and if we ever miss the mark, please let us know so we can do better next time.
When you arrive, you’ll find guest parking conveniently located on the right as you enter the lot. As you make your way toward the building, our friendly greeters will be there to welcome you, help you find your way, and answer any questions you may have.
Our Sunday service begins at 10:00 AM. During our time together, you can expect engaging corporate worship, meaningful praise, and a relevant, Bible-based message that speaks to everyday life.
Our services feature contemporary Christian music and worship songs, creating an atmosphere where you can connect with God and grow in your faith.
Your children will love being part of Carlinville First! We’re passionate about creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where kids can learn about God and grow in their faith.
We offer a nursery for children up to age 2, as well as a Nursing Mother’s Room—both conveniently located to the left of the sanctuary. Our greeters will be happy to help you find your way.
Children ages 3–5 can join our preschool class, while kids in Kindergarten through 5th grade attend our elementary class. Our dedicated kids team teaches God’s Word in a way that’s fun, engaging, and keeps children excited to come back each week.
We haven’t forgotten about teenagers! Our Student Ministries offer opportunities for older students to connect, grow, and build lasting friendships.
