We invite you to join our efforts to extend Christ’s hospitality in our community and our world through our various mission efforts. Some of these missions include: Habitat for Humanity, Lazarus House, Hesed House, Elgin Mental Health Center, Fox Valley Hospice, Northern Illinois Food Bank, Rebuilding Together and installing purification systems to provide safe, clean drinking water in Guatemala.

We joyfully celebrate our life together and invite you to be an active part of our ministry and mission in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
