What is worship like?

We are passionate about praising God, and that is evident in our worship service. Feel free to clap your hands and move or stand and sing. We typically sing songs for the first 20 to 30 minutes, and then we sit for a sermon, usually from our lead pastor, Marty Sloan.

If Christmas feels heavy this year, you’re still invited.

You don’t have to feel festive to come. Christmas can hold grief and hope in the same room. If you’d like someone to pray with you, or you’re looking for support this season, our care team is here.

For an urgent need, reach our on-call pastor at 630-851-7000.

See you this Christmas.
