About

• Breanna Young★★★★★3 months ago

  Really wonderful experience, especially for my two-year-old who I can’t seem to control with the worship music. She just loves it and I just have to let her be and go with the worship. Amazing and supportive people within and throughout the church, amazing nursery team and childcare area. Very welcoming atmosphere, unsure about the biblical teaching aspect due to I pretty much have missed most of the sermon due to going to nurse my newborn however, the parts of the Services I have heard and understood very straight from the Bible.

  Everyone is very welcoming, kind, and prayerful. The church is the people, not the building and you experience that with Christ Church! The Sunday sermons are based on the Bible and are so thought provoking they help me to grow in my knowledge and love of God’s Word. I also learn so much each at Wednesday night’s Going Deeper worship service; going through a book of the Bible verse by verse. There are many Bible studies and small groups, enriching the learning and proving connection that makes this church feel like extended family. Lastly, the music is always uplifting and is a part of the experience to feel God’s presence in worship.

  If you're looking for a place that preaches the Bible without apology, then you will love this church! They're on a continued mission to reach and teach those who want more understanding and a deeper commitment to Christ. Moving sermons, great worship, and so many wonderful ways to connect and get involved when you're ready! It was truly a blessing to come back after several years of moving, to see many of the same happy faces greeting you with a warm smile and joy when you realize you have been missed!! If you want a new family, church home, or just s place to leave all your worries at the altar, then you need to give them a try. Single, marred, divorced, widowed, young and and young at heart, you will find a way to connect :)

  For a very large church it feels like a small family community. Everyone here is wonderful and welcoming from all walks of life. A place for everyone. Rev. Shane makes you feel connected and inspired without feeling judged or lectured. He isn't just a charismatic teacher but a teacher that makes you want to know more. The children's ministry is off the chart. My younger child begs to go to church! The community outreach is incredible from local areas to mission trips.

  The most welcoming Church full of love. So many amazing people, all different ages and all kinds of people. So many great things for kids and adults both to be a part of. We are blessed to have found our home here at Christ Church!

  If you are looking for a place to worship in a welcoming, supportive and inclusive community, Christ Church in Fairview Heights,IL is the place for you. Christ Church welcomes everyone who wants to worship and celebrate God’s blessings and the glory and grace of Jesus Christ. For me, personally, it’s like being home. ✝️

  I love attending and serving at this Church where the Bible is preached/taught. The building may look like a Mega Church but the minute you walk in the door you are warmly greeted by loving smiling folks. There is a delicious coffee cafe where you can get any assortment of drinks and munchies to whet your appetite and you are welcome to take your choices with you into the sanctuary. There are fabulous up to date children's, pre-teen, and teen ministries for your children and many many adult small groups that make a large church no longer large. Additionally you will find a beautifully decorated gift shop where you will find an assortment of jewelry, books, and toys as well as home decor. Come and join us!! We would love to welcome you!

  I’ve attended and served at Christ Church for almost 13 years now - I met my wife here and now our son is growing up as part of the structured Christ-centered kids program. Christ church isn’t perfect, but Shane’s heart is filled with Jesus and it overflows into his teaching and preaching! Although it may seem hard to make such a large church your “home,” there is a whole leadership team dedicated to growing and connecting people through small groups; that is how we fill the gap! Worship is Christ filled and isn’t a performance, and I feel that each person in leadership does have a heart for God. So thankful for my church family, and I’m blessed to be here.

  Looking for a Church that lives by the Bible unapologetically and loves everyone, this is the place. Christ Church is our second home. Rev Shane is probably the greatest pastor I’ve ever had the privilege to listen to. He is able to make every sermon educational, entertaining, and relevant to today. The youth program is incredible and my kids can’t wait to go to the Wednesday meetings every week. You must try it out to see how great it is. Watch the program online on the website to get an idea.

  Awesome house of the Lord! This is a place of pure Joy and belonging. No judgment, no politics and no drama! This church does one thing, connect people with Jesus Christ! It is a place where you will be welcomed with loving arms, a hearty handshake and a smile that says “We are truly glad you are here!” This church is a place of Holy Spirit revival and the energy is supernatural!

• Gina McIsaac★★★★★a year ago

  This church has one mission... to connect people to Jesus. This church is a gift to our community through both its ministries within the church walls where ALL are welcome and also to all our neighbors through various outreach missions.

• Jason Pawlak★★★★★6 years ago

  Christ Church is awesome. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. The kids really enjoy their Sunday school and leave ready to talk about what they learned that day. The music is on the loud side but still tasteful. The preacher is one of the best I've heard and is honest with his leadership of the church.

• Dave Merrill★★★★★12 years ago

  We exist to connect people with Jesus Christ and we pursue that mission with excellence, integrity, and passion. Christ Church is like no other fellowship I have experienced in 60 trips around the sun. The leadership staff is exemplary, members are actively engaged in bi-vocational ministry, the teaching is Biblical, and worship is consistently unsurpassed! This is not church for the faint of heart. There is a strong expectation that God's people will meet the call of "worship plus two and a tithe." If you can rise to the challenge of weekly worship, get actively involved in two ministries (service inside the church and a mission outside the church), and tithe your time, talent, energy, and resources, then this place is right for you. I don't think church gets any better and God is moving in powerful ways with an expanding main campus, two satellite campuses (soon to be three), and dozens of thriving small groups happening all the time. Just awesome!

  This church has literally changed my life. Prior to 2018, I voraciously prayed for a church that could support my special needs child. Boy did I find it in Christ Church!!! Not only do they support him, they treat him like family. From the first meeting, the staff reached out to me to see what they could do to make a smooth transition for my very loud, sometimes difficult son. They have gone above and beyond to accommodate his every whim. They even bought unusual toys that a 8 year old boy wouldn’t normally choose (he is very into Russian dolls). He begs to go to church, prays and sings “Jesus loves me”. I am so GRATEFUL to my Christ Church family. If you are looking for a church home that cares about your every need, this is the place for you. I have been a believer since age 9, but I have never heard the word preached in such a manner that I can relate to personally. Both Shane and Mike do an amazing job of bringing God’s word into modern times without sacrificing content. They stand for what the Bible says despite pushback and I LOVE THAT. Shane’s enthusiasm is absolutely contagious. The church is comprised of all ages. I love to see young people leading worship, etc.

  As soon as you step inside you feel at home and welcomed! Rev. Bishop is preaching fire 🔥 every Sunday!! There is definitely an anointing on him because he is preaching what is actually in the Bible and breaking it down so you understand it! Rev. Wooton has a gift to preach on the gifts of the spirit and that blesses me every time! I can’t say enough about the wisdom both of them have about God’s Word! The worship team is blessed with so much talent that you can feel the Holy Spirit moving in the sanctuary when we have praise and worship! God is definitely using the worship team and all the Pastors at Christ Church to reach many souls for Christ and that is what it is all about! ☺️ I love this place!!

  I am a youth who has been attending this church for a year and a half, and in that time the services have SERIOUSY helped my grow my faith, which really has helped me live a happier life. I appreciate the accepting but firm and unwavering environment, the music is wonderful, youth is fun, there are so many evernts to get involved in, and Rev. Shane is the truly most wonderful speaker I have ever heard! I will certainly be attending Christ Church for years to come!

  I love this church !!! I have been a member for years and know the mission of our church is to "connect people to Jesus Christ". CHRIST Church is growing because of the people and Rev. Shane Bishop's sermons, messages, and guidance. The sermons can be heard on the website. Please listen and you will see he preaches the Bible and brings it to us making it very understandable. Along with this, we have the best worship music - Don Frazure and team. (The special singers, choir, and band are awesome). We are growing because of the powerful feelings and the presence of the Lord. Our church moved from highway 50 because we outgrew the area and our church building. We moved out to a non-congested area to build our church. The church is growing because we love to "connect people to Jesus Christ". R W

  I Absolutely love Christ Church. The fellowship, the teachings, the missionary trips and the pilgrimage. Thank you so much for your teaching Pastor Shane

• Kevin Oesterle★★★★★4 years ago

  We've been worshiping our AWESOME GOD at Christ Church since 2008, and we've grown so much in our faith and love for God. The sermons are ALWAYS Biblically-based and meaningful (and are always note-worthy (I have filled countless journals!!)) Our church is our home!

• Candy Niemeyer★★★★★4 years ago

  We found a community of active believers led by biblical Shepherds. You can be involved as much as you want to be with ministries that serve the church, our community and our world. Phenomenal in-house or online experiences. We are growing in our faith even in our senior years.
