Germantown Hills Baptist Church is a loving church in the beautiful community of Germantown Hills, IL. Located just off HWY 116 on Schmitt Lane, we are close to the Germantown Hills center School. Our desire is to be fully committed followers of Jesus Christ and to see others do the same.


Our mission is to glorify God by leading people into a loving, growing relationship with Jesus Christ. (Matthew 28:18-20).

The first meeting of the Germantown Hills Baptist Church was held in the home of Art & Lois Ginz on October 18, 1952. The church held a recognition council in January of 1953 and joined the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches (GARBC). The first Pastor was Rev. Sheral Gregory, and there were 11 charter members. The first church building, on the corner of Ten Mile Creek Road and Jo Street, was dedicated in March of 1953. In 1963, the church moved to its present location at 304 Schmitt Lane in Germantown Hills. On March 12, 2017, the church voted to call Pastor Mike Carlson as Pastor. He accepted the call and moved to Germantown Hills, IL, with his wife, Karen, and their two children, Meaghan and Jordan. His first Sunday with us was May 28, 2017.
