Our smaller size  (average Sunday attendance is 175) and friendly congregation gives people a feeling of coming home. Our congregation not only spans all ages, but also a variety of ethnic backgrounds. That diversity is one of our favorite parts of our church life. But above everything else, our goal at VCL is to be and to make disciples of Jesus Christ. We asked three newcomers what they had to say about VCL. We invite you to come and see for yourself.

"When people ask us how we came to VCL we respond by saying that we initially came to hear a friend from Europe speak. But when asked, why have you stayed? We quickly respond by saying We feel like we have Come Home! We have been very impressed by the warmth, friendliness and creativity of this genuine Christian community and family.

We have often said that we think that the Village Church of Lincolnshire has got to be the best kept secret in Lake County. There were basically three things that we were looking for in a church―a sense of God’s presence in the worship, a strong teaching ministry from God’s Word and authentic Christian fellowship and caring. We have found a wonderful blend of all three at VCL.

We often refer to VCL as our little chapel in the woods and we are very thankful to have finally found a Christian community that we can truly call home."

"I settled at VCL because, from the neighborly handshakes and smiles at the door, to the friendliness of everyone I've met, to the loving professionalism and knowledge Pastor Lee brings to his sermons, I have felt welcomed, at home and closer than ever to God."
