The First Baptist Church of Minonk, IL is celebrating its 150th Anniversary on Sunday, April 20, 2008. The church was organized in 1858 by 13 original members. The first meetings were held in different sites around the community. The first Church structure was completed in 1864. This church was torn down and the present edifice was completed in 1908. Our beautiful stained glasses windows have been restored to their former glory.
