What it’s like

at Vernon Hills

While each campus has its own unique feel and atmosphere, what makes Christ Church us is the same at every campus. Our Vernon Hills campus is a bustling campus with lots of events for all ages. Come see us at Vernon Hills.

All of our Christ Church campuses are very involved in our communities. We have many local partners in North Chicago and around our campuses that we support financially and physically, including Renew Communities, which builds affordable homes in North Chicago.

Your kids will be busy, in both large and small group settings, learning about Jesus in interactive ways.

Middle schoolers are in The Cove, which builds on Fleet 45. The same emphasis on serving, leadership and fun are incorporated, while digging deeper. Extra retreats and mission trips help enrich these lessons into real-life experiences!

SHYG (Senior High Youth Group for grades 9-12) is all about reaching high schoolers and developing them into wise, life-long followers of Jesus. Students are invited to participate no matter where they are in their faith journey.
