MEET OUR PASTOR
Welcome to the
website of Congregational United Church of Christ. Here you will
find lots of information about us. You can check out our calendar
for upcoming events and learn a bit about the values, mission and
vision that drive our ministry. But nothing can substitute for
getting up close and personal, getting to know us, by spending time
with us. I hope you will do that soon.
What I can tell you as the pastor of this progressive Christian
faith community is that we believe, we really do, that God is still
speaking! And what’s more, we hold to a set of values by which you
can chart your life’s course, too. |

We:
-believe in and respond to God’s continuing testament in the
world.
-offer an extravagant welcome in the name of Jesus Christ, no matter
who you are or where you may be on life’s journey.
-are a place where Christ changes lives – individuals, communities,
and the world.
This is what this congregation of the United Church of Christ is
known for – and stands for. I hope you will join us as we seek to
spread the good news of changed lives for the better. We’re not
perfect, far from it, but at our best, we demonstrate that Christian
minds are not closed, but open to new learning; that church can be a
place of inclusion so that none of God’s children feels the danger
and pain of exclusion; and that everyone can more fully experience
God’s great abundance of love, grace, and power.
Continuing
testament... Extravagant welcome...Changing lives....find it
here...with us...in Christ!

We
are located on West Kirchoff Road by the campus of Northwest Community Hospital in the
northwestern Chicago suburb of Arlington Heights. But it's what's
inside this place that counts. Come, test the spirit at
Congregational UCC. See how it feels, how it fits. Then let's talk.
