Christian Church of Villa Park

“Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for another?” – Matthew 11:3 We're starting the new year by asking big questions. Join us for worship every Sunday at 10 am to explore your faith. Some say that faith is the opposite of doubt, that certainty means having no questions. But this is not God’s way. You can trust in God and have lots of questions about life and faith. Faith and doubt side by side, hand in hand. They are not mutually exclusive. Without questions, o

“we strive to worship God in every aspect of our lives” – Design of CCVP We'll spend the month of November reminding ourselves that we are children of God, that God is our foundation. What does that mean for how we live our lives? How will we mold ourselves to build on our foundation? In the midst of everything that changes, we find our foundation in God through Christ. When we forget who we, are we are reminded. We are sought and found. Our names are known. Our mistakes do n

“What is your name?” – Genesis 32:27 As we move through this fall season, we explore who we are and how we see and know others. Calling someone by name is powerful. It lets a person know they are seen, not as an object, but in their full humanity. God calls each of us by name and knows the very hairs on our heads, but we don’t always give one another the same honor. We are called to speak names truly, to see and know one another. We name Jesus as our Savior and seek to embody

“What you worship as unknown, I proclaim to you” – Acts 17:23 You may have seen the billboards along the interstate or maybe an ad on TV or radio. Explore God. We all have questions. And together, we're going to talk about what we believe the answers may be. Who is the God we follow? What does God have to do with our day to day lives? We will have a chance to explore questions of God together in worship at 10 am and in a small group study at 8:45 am. Invite friends and family

“your redemption is drawing near” – Luke 21:28 Next week we celebrate Thanksgiving. As stores turn immediately to Christmas, the church readies itself to welcome the Christ child through the season of Advent. God draws near to us. A promise is proclaimed. Signs are revealed. The way is prepared. A baby will be born, God with us. As we anticipate the coming of God in human form, God asks: how will we draw nearer. How do we prepare for the coming king? How do we respond to the

“Seek the Lord and live” – Amos 5:6 We explored who we are, and our identity moves us. We are relational creatures active in the world. What should that look like? God calls us to give of ourselves in holistic ways. Our journey as disciples cannot be confined to just one small piece of our lives. As individuals and a community, we are asked to follow in ways that we may not feel ready for. Yet God knows us and pulls us to be our fullest selves. On Sunday, October 14, at 10:00

“beloved children” – Ephesians 5:1 We are beloved children. Join us for worship this fall as we explore what it means to be and live as beloved children of God. We'll explore who we are at our best and the ways we sometimes fall short. We'll hear stories of all kinds of followers of Jesus, including stories from our own community. We'll begin on September 2 at 10 am with stories and songs that center us in who Jesus is and what it means to be a disciple of Christ. Read more a

“What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.” – Philippians 4:9 Join us in worship through the end of the summer to talk about how the rituals we practice in worship help us to practice life as Christians. Each practice helps us engage more fully in a holistic Christian way of life. We'll dive into why we light candles, passing the peace of Christ, blessing one another, and gathering at the Lord's T
