Welcome to Willow Creek Community Church, where our doors are wide open to people from all backgrounds.

What visitors usually notice first is the large number of people who attend our weekly services and the more than 100 ministries that meet a wide range of needs. Our size has benefits: we’re big enough for you to blend in and investigate the claims of Jesus Christ anonymously, if you choose to.
But if you look closer, you’ll find that in many ways we’re small. In fact, we’re actually a network of small groups. And if you’d like to develop authentic and enduring relationships with others, then you’ll be glad to know that new groups are forming all the time.

Together, we’re striving to become the kind of church described in the Bible—a church with relevant teaching, heart-felt worship, honest friendships, constant prayer, and compassionate care for those in need. In short, we’d like to have the kind of contagious Christianity that can influence and encourage the entire community, one life at a time.

So whether you’re a spiritual seeker who’s just starting to ask questions about God, or a committed Christian who wants to sink the roots of your faith even deeper, you can find a home here at Willow Creek.

You’ll find that this is a place where you really matter—because you matter to God.
