Brief Church History
Next year, we will celebrate 70 years of ministry in Westchester. We are a United Church of Christ, coming from the Congregational Christian side of the tradition. But we ARE a Community Church. Founded by people from over 20 different Christian traditions, and especially from a group of women in our community, we have always been part of and active in Westchester. Our church is built on the spur that came off of the old Blue Line in Westchester, literally built on the old depot area at the end of the spur. Members of our church are instrumental in the creation of the Library, LaGrange Memorial Hospital, and our community’s Blood Drive. Members of our church are active in all facets of life in Westchester.
