Who We Are...

We are a church in the process of reintroducing ourselves to the community.

We must be known as a gathering of people who:
- are growing closer to God.
- makeup a fresh and relevant church for today's culture.
- help grow healthy families
- aggressively serve people.
- believe in identifying with our community and becoming an intricate part of the community.
- believe the harvest is ready, and the we are the workers ready to go and serve God in a variety of ways.
- believe only God can take a dead seed and bring about life. We want everyone to spiritually experience that in their lives.


The Fields Church is the new name that our leadership has endorsed.



The Fields Church:
It represents our Central Illinois location
It represents the spiritual harvest that needs to take place.
It represents opportunity to grow closer to God
It represents a place where families can grow in spiritually healthy ways.
It represents spiritual seeds that needs to be planted.
It represents fields of opportunity.
It represents fields of spiritual growth.
It represents new life.

Come May 10, we'll be able to say, "Welcome to The Fields!"

Keep us updated! I believe our Church needs to reintroduce ourselves as well, and we might be on the verge of doing just that.
