About twenty brave pioneers created this local church in 1864. The church has met continuously since that year in various facilities in the city of Wheaton. It’s a church with a great heritage. Today we try to strike a dynamic balance between respecting our heritage of faith and service and envisioning creative new strategies to meet needs in the 21^st century.</p> <p><a href="http://www.firstbaptistwheaton.org/new/what_kind_of_church_is_this/brief_history">read more</a></p> http://www.firstbaptistwheaton.org/new/what_kind_of_church_is_this/brief_history#comment What Kind of Church is This?
