Faith & Fireworks at Idlewild Baptist Church
Join Idlewild as we celebrate our freedom and wish our great nation a very happy 250th birthday. America 250 is a family-friendly evening of faith and fireworks — beginning at 6 PM in our Worship Center with a patriotic showcase featuring Idlewild's own Choir and Orchestra, and concluding with a pulse-quickening, pride-inducing, awe-inspiring Fireworks Spectacular at 9 PM.
Fireworks are the draw. Music is the experience. Gospel is the purpose.

Our Patriotic Showcase is a collection of songs hand-chosen by our team to celebrate Independence Day — and to offer a very special and personal salute to the service men and women in attendance.
Nothing says Independence Day like incredible edibles — and we've invited some of the area's favorite food trucks to serve it up. These mouth-watering creations go fast, so get here early before the good stuff is gone!
