First Baptist Wheaton is an evangelical Christian church located in Wheaton, Illinois, situated in southern DuPage County, and is not formally related to any denomination or baptist association.[1] The church was founded in 1864 by 20 pioneers around the time Abraham Lincoln was drafting his Gettysburg Address.[2] Weekly church attendance averages nearly 600. In July 2018, the church merged with Highpoint Church and is now known as Highpoint Church-Wheaton Campus.[3]
