What to Expect

Welcome to Willow South Barrington! We are passionate about loving God, loving others, and changing the world—especially within our own city. Each weekend we gather to worship and learn from God’s Word, but we believe “church” is much more than a one-hour event. The relationships formed through volunteering and small groups provide the ideal place to truly belong, celebrate the joys of life, weather the storms together, and become who God made you to be. Wherever you find yourself in life or faith, we hope your first step will be checking out Willow South Barrington!

Where should I park?

Where do I go when I get there?

We are here to help as much as you need! If you like to find your own way, you’re more than welcome to go straight into our Main Auditorium or Atrium (for video viewing) and sit wherever you like. If you have children, connect with one of our volunteers in the lobby who will help you get to the right Next Gen ministry (Willow Kids, Willow Friends, or Jr. High Ministry). Staff and volunteers are standing by in our Next Steps room to help you get connected—or you can fill out our digital connect card before you come!

What do you do for kids?

We offer fantastic programs for kids and students during weekend services and throughout the week! On Sundays, kids birth–grade 5 can learn about God and connect with others at Willow Kids. Our junior-high students (grades 6–8) also meet on Sundays for a Willow Students program created just for them! High schoolers gather on Sunday evenings to worship and learn through God’s Word and build connection through small groups & mid-size communities. We also have Willow Friends, our disability and inclusion ministry which has programs for kids, teens, and adults on Sundays and throughout the week. In addition to these great ministries, Willow Preschool is our on-site preschool that is open to the public.

Childcare during the week:
