Come home. We miss you.
If you long for
closeness and laughter and a
warm, caring family that genuinely loves you, if you'd like a sense of purpose,
hard work, and a willingness to reach others with the love of Jesus and the presence of God, welcome
home. We want you
here. Something is missing without you. Come home. We miss you.
We have all found a home and a family and freedom
of worship in this church. Freedom to be servants of God and in the world.
We love creative souls of all kinds (like you),
from artists to auto mechanics to teachers to moms and dads and farmers.
We're not a large church (although we're growing!), but we are fairly
bursting with affection, enthusiasm and creativity. We try to provide soil
for all of our members to grow deep roots and blossom in vibrant colors.
The joy of the Lord is our strength (which is a good thing, because
we are a long way from perfect!)
Come and worship with us in West Chicago - this is an exciting, vibrant
place. We know that God
is head over heels in love with us, and -surprise! - we respond with joy
and celebration.
We sing and we dance. We pray like crazy. We serve each
other and the world. We grow to love others more and
more like Jesus did. And we meet God. Profound and life-changing encounters with Him
happen here.
Isaiah 61 is a key Scripture for us, and we
try to live our lives as God calls us all to be His priests to the world, to
love and to care for all. We come in all colors and from many backgrounds.
There is an exuberant diversity here, and we find that thrilling!
We DO NOT believe that our deep faith in Jesus and the Bible means that we're
supposed to be depressed or legalistic or uptight, or that we're supposed to check our brains at the door. After all,
God
designed our brains, and we think He did an amazing job. So we enjoy
the freedom to think, and even to
dance, and we've been known to do both IN CHURCH!
Really! Nearly every week! We leave our worship services happy and
excited, not condemned and depressed. When we take God seriously, He meets
us, helps us get our lives in order, and fills us with His joy!
Together, we are all really learning what love is, and how much God
desires to lead us into an intimate, healthy and joy-filled relationship with Himself, and
how He fills us with His Spirit so that we can bless others. It is sometimes hard, often joyful, and wonderfully blessed by
the presence of God. Come join this loving, crazy band! Come and
experience Resurrection!
