Bible Baptist Church of Romeoville is located at 301 Normantown Rd. It is just about 25 minutes from the University of St. Francis campus, making it accessible for students who have access to a car. The church places value in three main categories: worship, grow, disciple. They have church service at 10:30 a.m. every Sunday. 

The church started as a weekly Bible study all the way back in 1960. The years following have been filled with tremendous growth and ten faithful pastors. The website states that each pastor in church history has been used by God to strengthen the church in specific ways. 

Bible Baptist Church strives to be a Bible-centered church. They do this through worship service which includes singing, reading scripture (the Bible) and preaching from the Bible as well. The focus on spiritual growth is accomplished at this church through what they call "transformations groups". These groups serve as a place where people can meet to uplift each other, hold each other accountable and to help foster love towards others. The category disciple means that the church believes that all people, not just leaders of the church, should be active in ministry. Being active in ministry means to be involved in leading people to Jesus. There are many ways to do this including Bible study with others, mentoring teen moms, teaching or serving in the ministry. 

The church has many different ministries that serve a wide variety of people in their community. One of the current ministries at Bible Baptist Church is BBC Kids. This is the kids church that takes place Sunday mornings, it is for K4 through grade 5. They also host an Awana group and Student Ministry on Wednesday nights at 6:30 p.m. These are two groups that are for children in K through grade 12. The website, biblebaptistromeoville.com, also highlights a senior ministry that is for those ages 55 and up. There is no other updated information currently available for this ministry.
