The Community Southern Baptist Church began on July 31, 2002 in Clay City, with 32 members.  The Church first started meeting in the Oddfellows Lodge on 3rd St. in Clay City, IL.  They were accepted into the Illinois Baptist State Association on November 24, 2002.  Four acres were purchased and in February 2003 the ground was completely paid for.

On May 16, 2004 the ground breaking ceremony was held. The building was finally completed in October 2005.  God blessed us with our first service in our new building on October 22, 2005 with Pastor James Beam presenting the message. In September 2016 our building was completely paid off. In July of of 2017, we will Be celebrating our 15th Anniversary.

Our Mission is to Reach the Lost, Disciple the Believer, Minister to the Community, and to Worship God through Music and the Preaching of God’s Word.  By God’s grace we pray that Community Southern Baptist Church will be a place where “Jesus is Exalted” and the  “Word is Explained”.
