Other Ministries

Bus

For over 35 years, Bay View Baptist Church has shown its love for people by operating a bus ministry. This means that every Sunday, we send buses out into the community to pick up people for church. We bring people in of all ages and from all walks of life. They enjoy worshiping with us and participating in one or more of our great programs. You can find out if we have a bus route in your area by calling (309) 698-2000.

Good Timers

Our Good Timers ministry allows our retirees to get together a couple of times each month to fellowship and grow together in the Lord. They often take special trips to museums, air shows and many other places. Each time they meet, they also receive a spiritual challenge from the Word of God. Good Timers is a great opportunity for our retirees to get to know each other and enjoy life a little more! Currently the Good Timers ministry is headed up by assistant Pastor Brett Bedwell.

Music

We have a great music program. God has blessed us with many talented people. When you come to our services, you will hear a great variety of vocal and instrumental specials. We're always looking for new singers, new instrumentalists, and new opportunities. It's a great program to participate in or just sit back and take it all in. Your heart will be lifted and encouraged.

Nursery

Everyone loves a clean, spacious, beautifully-equipped church nursery. Our nursery is all of that and more. It is one of our most complimented departments. Moms love it. To see it is to appreciate it.
