FIND COMMUNITY
We are the Christian Church of Villa Park called to embody God’s love – a love that embraces, liberates, and empowers – in relationships with all we encounter, whoever they are and wherever they find themselves on their journey of faith. We work to build community, to be in relationship with one another through the Spirit. We seek to do the work to which we are called with compassion, creating a space for all to share the radical welcome that we have received through Christ. We strive to answer God’s call to build community inside and outside our walls, being “imitators of God, as beloved children, and live in love, as Christ loved us.” (Eph. 5:1-2)
