We are located on Main Street (IL-16) in downtown Shelbyville, Illinois. You'll find us at 205 W. Main Street, a few blocks west of the Shelby County Courthouse. Worship starts at 9:00 am, but if you’re a few minutes late, that’s okay, too.

Worship at Shelbyville First is traditional and welcoming, with hymns, prayer, Scripture, a Children's Message, and a sermon. Our service lasts about an hour, and there's no need to dress up. Bulletins guide you through the service, making it easy to follow along whether you're a regular worshiper or first-time guest.

PARKING
Street parking is available around the church, or use the school parking lot behind the church on Sunday mornings.

ENTERING
Use the red doors on Walnut Street or the accessible ramp entrance near the school parking lot.

CHILDREN
Children are welcome in worship and are invited forward for a Children's Message. Nursery and Children's Church are also available.

What should I wear?
Whatever you're comfortable wearing. You'll see everything from jeans or shorts to more traditional Sunday church clothes.

Can I receive Communion?
Yes. When we celebrate Communion on the first Sunday of the month, you don't have to be a member of Shelbyville First or any church to receive the elements.

Will I be singled out as a visitor?
No. We'd love to meet you, but we won't ask you to stand or introduce yourself during worship.

Is there Sunday School?
Yes. There are two adult classes and a class for junior high and high school students every Sunday. On the first Sunday of the month, we have a special class called First Sunday Story Hour with fun activities and learning for students in 2nd through 6th grade.

What if I have another question?
Our greeters, ushers, and Pastor Michael are always happy to help. Just ask.
