Lake County Baptist Church

Lake County Baptist Church started as a Bible study in the summer of 1974. The three founding families wished to start a solid, biblically-based and separated fundamental work here in Waukegan. After founding the church, they founded Lake County Baptist School in August of 1974 and purchased the former Bonnie Brook School building. Our church was grounded in the early and formative years by Dr. Bill Schroeder and church-planter Grant Rice, whom we still support today. Our church has grown since then and now averages about 150 people on Sunday mornings.
