About Us :

Welcome to Blessed Hope Baptist Church in Raymond, IL. We are a small Independent, Fundamental, King James Bible Baptist Church. We are located about 35 miles south of Springfield, Il. and are the only Independent Baptist Church in Montgomery County. For almost 28 years, Blessed Hope has stood as a lighthouse for the community of Raymond, and has seen many souls walk down the isle and accept Jesus Christ as there personal Saviour. It is truly a church with a desire, and a vision to see souls saved, and life's dedicated to the cause of Christ.

Blessed Hope Baptist Church was formed in 1980, and has had several Pastors over the years. They called our present Pastor, James L Wagahoff, in May of 1986. For over 22 years he has stood firm, teaching and preaching the unchanging gospel of Christ here at Blessed Hope. We still hold firm to the doctrine of separation, from the clothes that we wear to the places we go, old fashion, God honoring music, and the precious King James Bible. If you are looking for a church home, or you are ever in the area, please stop by and see us.
