The Joliet church of Christ: God's truth taught plainly, and a church family in Joliet, IL that has been where you are.

Looking for Something Solid?

Everything people offer you to build a life on eventually gives way. The advice, the opinions, the institutions, even your own best plans. So you keep searching, and you still feel uncertain and unfulfilled. We have all struggled with those same thoughts. If it is just you against the world, you lose every time, and life was never meant to be carried alone.

What You'll Find Here

Truth You Can Test

We teach straight from the Bible, not from opinion or trend, so you can open the Book and weigh every word for yourself.

People Who Have Been There

About 100 people who have doubted, messed up, and kept turning back to God. You will not be the only one starting over.

Purpose That Holds

When your life is built on Christ, your direction no longer rises and falls with the week you are having.

Enjoyed the worship service and sermon.The A Capella singing of the entire congregation was very uplifting.They have a great nursery area close to the women's restroom just off the main auditorium which appeared very helpful for women with very young children and infants. They have Bible study classes for all ages prior to the main worship service. The minister is very friendly and helpful. I plan to go back when I am in Joliet.

Sunday starts with 50 minutes of Bible class at 9am, then a 10-minute break before worship at 10am. Worship runs about an hour and 30 minutes: we sing together a cappella, pray, observe the Lord’s Supper, read from God’s Word, and the members give.
