We have transitioned to our summer schedule:
Worship Services now start at 10:00 am. 

Young Children and Worship is now on summer break,
and Summer Sunday School has begun!
Children can attend Summer Sunday School after the children's sermon.

This summer schedule will run until our Fall Kickoff on September 13th! 

Summer Sunday School takes the place of Young Children and Worship during the summer months for children ages 4-6. Each year we ask for volunteers to teach ONE Sunday during the summer. It is taught during the worship service after the children’s message time. All materials are prepared, and it is easy to teach. Contact Wendy Smith (peterwendysmith@gmail.com) for more information or to volunteer.

At 10AM on Sunday, June 14th
we will have a special worship service celebrating Psalm 47:

Clap your hands, all you nations;
shout to God with cries of joy.

The service will be a time of combined worship and fellowship with all three churches that call our building home:

Karen Baptist Church
International Faith Church
Faith Covenant Church

Immediately following the service in the Sanctuary, we will relocate to Herrick Lake!
We have reserved the WEST SHELTER AND PICNIC AREA for our use (PDF map).

The church will provide grilled hot dogs with all the toppings and bottled water. 
Last names A-M: Please bring chips, pretzels or crackers to share
Last names N-Z: Please bring cookies or fruit to share
*If you're not a hot dog fan, consider packing a little picnic lunch for yourself.

Bring lawn chairs, blankets to sit on, and any yard games you would like to play.
Youth 15 and younger can fish in the lake without a permit.
Canoes, kayaks, and rowboats are also available to rent from the park district for a fee (learn more)

On Saturday, June 27th at 1:30pm, the women of the church are invited to Anne Osielski's home in West Chicago, 308 Allen Ave, for Abbie's Bridal Shower! Please RSVP by texting 7735906950.

On Sunday, July 19th, join us after service to celebrate Pastor Eliza's ordination! 

We are overjoyed to honor her faithfulness, her heart for this community, and to walk alongside her as she steps boldly into all the Lord has called her to be.

Afterward, join us for our annual day at the lake. Bring your favorite meat to grill and a dish to share. Drinks, plates, and tableware will be provided. Afternoon activities: bocce, Kubb, badminton, tubing, basketball, swimming, pontoon rides, sitting at the beach, juggling, and enjoying the day. Location: Gene & Barb Frost’s lake house (1528 Holiday Drive, Sandwich, IL 60548). Gene’s cell: 630-347-8213.

We will be having our Annual Church Meeting after the Sunday service on July 12th! Everyone is welcome, and church members are strongly encouraged to attend.

Be on the lookout for an email later this week with details and a link to registration.

Summer is CALLING, and we're answering! Here's what's on the horizon:

Matthiessen State Park — Sunday, June 7th | Right after church, pack your lunch and lace up those walking shoes. RSVP to Heather Snyder so we can plan transportation.

Warren Dunes — Wednesday, July 8th | Leaving church at 9 am for sun, sand, and swimming! Bring a packed lunch and all your beach essentials.  RSVP to Wendy Smith so we can plan transportation.

Lake Day at the Frost's — Saturday, August 15th | Details coming soon — but trust us, you won't want to miss this one!

Stay tuned for more details!

Hey Faith! We are asking our congregation to share testimonies, ways the Lord has worked in your life, and other encouraging stories from your relationship with God. 

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes during Sunday worship? Faith's Media Ministry plays a vital role in helping our church worship experience run smoothly—and we’d love for you to join us! 

Volunteers can be mature middle school students through adults. No previous experience is necessary—just a willingness to learn, an appreciation of technology, and a heart to serve. We'll teach you everything you need to know.

There are flexible ways to serve by joining either a regular monthly rotation or volunteering as an "on-call" alternate when needed.

If you’re interested in helping or would like more information, contact ben@faithecc.org

Come be part of a ministry connecting people to life in Christ and community--in our sanctuary and around the world.

This summer, our series is Psalms for Life, a summer‑long journey through psalms of praise, raw emotion, heartfelt prayer, and resilient faith that help carry us through every season of life.

Sunday worship begins at 10:00 am. Join us in person or via live stream on Facebook or YouTube. On Sunday, we will be learning about Psalm 46.

We have two assisted listening devices available at the sound booth every Sunday morning. Ask one of our sound booth volunteers if you would like to use one during worship!

As we go through Psalms this summer, hide some of these songs in your heart and mind! Choose a level, and finish memorizing by Sept. 6. At the end of our series on Psalms, we will have a worship celebration where we will invite you to recite some of the passages you have memorized. And we will have a small gift for those who participated in the challenge!
