ABOUT US
First Baptist Church of Tinley Park was started in 1954 when a few women believed that a Baptist church was needed in the community. Through their efforts and the willingness of the Harvey Missionary Baptist Church (now Central Baptist, Olympia Fields) to send a preacher, our church was born.
For the last 6 decades FBCTP has stood the test of time and transitions of a changing community. It is our hope that we can be your bridge to a stable, caring community based on an enduring faith in Christ.

A Message from Pastor Mike Miller
We believe that when we are saved by Christ we receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit who equips us to live a life that is both abundant and obedient. The church is the place where these "forgiven sinners" support, teach, encourage, and worship with each other so that others might come to know the grace they have known through ministries God directs them to accomplish in His name.
