Church Shopping?
We look forward to your visit...
We are Trinity Community Church, United Church of Christ. We are a local UCC church serving Berwyn, Illinois and the larger Chicago-land area. Some of our members walk to church - others come from miles around including - Brookfield, Cicero, Riverside, North Riverside, Lyons, Addison, Lockport, Darien, Stickney, Westchester, Villa Park, Oak Brook, and Chicago.
Together we create a caring and supportive community that encourages self-discovery and discernment. In addition to worship on Sunday mornings at 10 AM we also have a wonderful and free Sunday School program (meets during worship September to June) - and many of our young adults (teenagers who became full members after Confirmation) are actively involved in lay leadership positions on our Church Boards (Christian Education, Deacons, and Membership Development). We also feature a "Red & Wild Ladies of Trinity Community" group (women only) where women are invited to forget about life for a while in Christian fellowship. Trinity Community offers a number of other activites and fellowship events for individuals and families - check out our calendar!
