We invite you to get involved with these “outside” groups that meet at our church. They welcome anyone interested in attending their services and meetings.
We try to “practice what we preach” with opportunities for spiritual growth, finding your own truth, serving the community, taking action in the world, and reaching out widely to other groups who we feel share our vision, as well as supporting each other as a church family.
You can contact the church by phone (815-338-0731), fax (815-338-0562), or e-mail (office@cucw.org) for more information about any of these groups.
