Extending Christ’s Love to all! Our name and our mission statement tells something about who we are. We are a worshiping community, endorsed and encouraged by the Northern Illinois Synod of the ELCA. Our worship involves people of all ages. Scripture is read and Holy Communion is celebrated. After a time of fellowship, we share our hopes and dreams of how we can be the “Open Arms” of Christ. Our basic conviction is that God loves all people and that the Lord is doing a new thing among us! We are not alone! We have the prayers and support of many. And that gives us hope!
